Because they haven't a clue about the people, only actuarial tables and reports. None of those executives have experienced knowing you're sick, but don't have the money, or even know a doctor, to do something about it, until you're taken to the emergency room.
This plan has brought a shitload of those people into the system where they can now get everything at least looked at, so they will. And people who think they're healthy, the I've never been sick a day in my lifers, don't see the need for insurance so will avoid it as long as they can.
Oh, and the medical profession's bosom buddy the drug companies spend billions through the media, making as many people as possible hypochondriacs.
Feel bad? We've a pill for that. Too fat/skinny? We've a pill for that. Raining? We've a pill for that.
