I see your perspective, but you're essentially arguing the point that the only people who regularly use healthcare services are 1) hypochondriacs and 2) the elderly. I think if you were to look at the data on who actually uses healthcare services and visits doctors in the US, you'd find a very different story. Certainly the elderly are a large portion of the overall cost, but I think to say "everyone else" only goes to the doctor once every 1-2 years is just not accurate.
