it still is true that you are paying for "someone else's healthcare".

Yeah but that's ALREADY how it works. With private insurance some people pay their premium month after month after month and make no claims. Some people get paid out more than they'll ever pay in. That's how insurance works. Plus with private insurance toss in shareholder profits and millions of dollars in quirky commercials off the top of that.
