> Because they are afraid that outsiders will take advantage of a system they pay (expensive prices) for? Inside my community bubble, this is basically the biggest reason. They don't want to subsidize (through taxes), using their own words, people who don't work to support themselves or illegal immigrants. Some of the people (again, inside my own life) with this opinion don't have, or even seem to care that they don't have, health insurance themselves.
