This is on some deep level what society is for and how humans survived in a hostile wilderness for so many generations: by pooling resources to reduce risk. If I’m alone in the forest, and I break my foot, I can no longer hunt, and I may die. But if I’m a member of a tribe, the others will bring me food until I can walk again. It’s the foundation of human behavior. We are social animals not because we’re just nice, but out of necessity. It’s about survival, in the end. Pooling resources for power costs, or for health care, or any other purpose, serves the same purpose: survival via reduction of risk.
