There are, unfortunately, many people who only get enjoyment out of other people’s jealousy. They are proud that they have “good” insurance that covers everything, in the same way they are proud of their expensive house/car/boat/etc. If everyone has that thing, they aren’t special and it isn’t a cool toy because anyone could
“I know my job makes the world a worse place and my boss treats me like trash, I wish I could just quit and pursue my own dreams, but I need health insurance!”
One of several reasons is they can’t make obscene amounts of money from socialized healthcare. Another would be their aversion to helping the less fortunate who they see as simply moral failures in life who don’t deserve handouts. And maybe a final point is that they know and trust the corruption of free market solutions instead of the “obviously inept and corrupt, gravy-train of welfare cheating governments” that they’ve been taught to hate (until the handout money comes to them during an emergency).
