Counter intuitive, dead people don't pay bills. You'd think they would ensure alive people who could be saddled with medical debt forever, thus an income stream. If i were a greedy business, I'd do it like that.
Healthy people don't pay bills either, they try to aim for a balance between almost dying and actually dead.

insurance also depends on healthy people that never uses thier insurance, hence thats why they price out older and chronically ill people.
