That's an inane way of thinking and the reason we're broke as a nation. You personally are like "hey, whatever, she shows up and I do whatevs and then she ignores me and I get paid." That would be fine if SHE was paying you for each visit, but she's not paying anything. She's spending, for example, my money and so are you.
Then you think you have that covered by expressing an indifferent "whatever society wants" statement followed by "I have nothing to do with that." Except that society is kept separated from it, too, which is why people vote the way they do. In other words, if voters were given bills and statements saying "you owe $35 as your part to pay for Ms. Crackhead's 50th ER visit this year, we expect payment within 60 days," they'd all rebel. Currently, nobody actually feels any impact at all because we just go into debt as much as we want. Therefore, you're free to vote for your "feeelings" and go "awwww, everyone deserves free healthcare, awwww." Similarly, that's why we have tax withholding, so most people don't realize how much they pay in taxes because they never see the money. If we forced people to, on April 15th, write a lump-sum check of $15,000 or even $100,000 or $3 million to the government, people would immediately rebel against liberalism.
