    There is a good reason...

    "Why should anyone, least of all a valuable contributing member of society, have to pass the hat to pay the doctor?"

    Because our society has failed.

    Besides, when you're willing to forgive the people to whom we've entrusted all the power of our society for torturing, why worry about a little thing like healthcare? Perhaps if those tortured in our names could play a good ragtime it would matter more, hmm?
