And trying to prove his point by accidentally describing "taxes", which yeah is a pretty damn good way to pool risk

I'm happy to pay taxes for my healthcare. It's good to know that when I age and inevitably develop cancer or other health problems it's not going to backrupt me or my loved ones. My country has its own share of healthcare-related corruption problems, but I'm glad that if I slip on the stairs tomorrow and break my ankle or something, I just... don't have to worry about it. I just go to the hospital and get whatever treatment I need. I don't need to weigh-up whether I really need an ambulance or surgery or anything.
