Those without insurance normally have a reason. Sure, there are some people who are just young and healthy and don't feel the need to pay for it, but I think many of the uninsured either have pre-existing conditions or didn't make enough money to afford it. Those people are not coming on board, but there aren't enough "non-users" out there to cover the cost.
