If it's so silly, why are we the only developed country that hasn't adopted it?

This is a good point, but in the opposite way that you meant it. Vaccination of a population works largely because of the concept of herd immunity.

Because there's a chance that you'll need it

Great analogy, thanks for broaching it!

If that were the case we'd not isolate people with doeseases but rather expose them to as many people as possible.
Vaccination =/= infection. Obviously.

Many CHDs are first diagnosed in teens and young adults (even up to late 30s). And what about your grandkids?
Again, thanks for the opportunity to demonstrate that vaccination was a good analogy, though not as you intended!

quote:Indeed. There is no acquired immunity from mooching. If we enable people to mooch, it doesn't stop more people from doing it. Opposite actually. It encourages more if it. Thus, it's an infection not an inoculation. Which is why your perversion of an analogy doesn't work.

Immunity from not being covered if you become seriously ill, sure. Someone's always going to pay more into the pool than they get out of it.

Agreed, which is why the individual mandate was so key.

You missed the point entirely - you cannot definitively say that your kid (or their kids) will never have a pre-existing condition - CHD was used because it's what Kimmel's kid has and conveniently lends itself to diagnosis later in life, so saying your kid will never have it is naive, at best.
