Are they outraged by this fact? Not really. The notion of two healthy people spending nearly $8,000 per person per year for health care is plainly outrageous -- no other country in the world spends close to that much per person. But the notion of paying into an insurance pool that pays many people's health care bills is not outrageous at all.
This couple knows that what goes around comes around. In some future year, one or both of them may get sick themselves. The cost of just one major surgical procedure could exceed several years worth of premiums, and the couple realizes that. So they pay for others now, expecting that others will pay for them later. That's the way insurance works. That's the way societies work (funny thing, how "society' and "socialism' have the same root word).
There may be much to criticize in the health care bills, especially the Senate bill. But one of those criticisms should not be that you will be forced to pay for somebody else's health care.
If you have health insurance at all, you already do that.
