So what do they do when they do get sick? Die peacefully without costing the rest of us anything? I somehow doubt it - although I’d be happy to see any evidence to the contrary.

EDIT: to be clear, my argument isn’t “we shouldn’t have to pay for healthcare for others”, it’s “if people refuse to pay into the healthcare system when they are able to but still demand treatment when they need it, that’s a broken system”.

I don't know what they do. I'm not one of those people and I'm not arguing for or against health insurance. All I was trying to do was point out that the health insurance - union comparison has other parallels than what OP brought up.
