Wait, what? What if you are diagnosed with a major illness? Are in a major car accident? etc, etc.
The problem in the US is that people who are otherwise comfortable and healthy have their entire fortunes turn around, for the rest of their lives, due to unforeseen illness/incidents.

Clean family history, healthy lifestyle (don't drink often, don't smoke, workout and watch my diet) >Are in a major car accident? etc, etc. Don't drive or do many high risk activities. I'm probably at the bottom end of health risks - in a fair system my insurance would be minimal. Besides all other EU countries cover stuff like that (life changing scenarios).
