Hitch hikers and horse riders do not pay it
This is a valid argument ONLY if you can assure us that you will never find yourself in the healthcare system So if you will refuse an ambulance, the ER, medication, etc in all circumstances NO MATTER WHAT, then you can make this argument. But, the truth is, we all find ourselves participating in the healthcare system at some point. So we should all have to pay for it. Except for the occasional "hitch hiker" (such as Christian Scientists, I guess).
