Health care in the US is paid by the employer. There is no universal health care, and the fewer employees who get sick, the less money a company has to pay out in health expenditures/insurance plan premiums for the next billing cycle. Also, this means that if you are out of work, you could easily die from preventable illnesses and nobody would really care.
