What happens when you are 22 and you have a major car accident or cancer or something else catastrophic happens and you don't have the resources to pay your bills... you either go deeply in debt, or you suck of the gov't teet somehow...

almost certain....
Almost certain NOT TO HAPPEN, which is why 22 year olds aren't concerned.

Aside from there always being a chance for something to happen, the reason 22 year olds aren't concerned is because they don't know better. They've probably been s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g from the parental teet for the last 22 years and don't realize the consequences until something *does* happen.

People in their 20's aren't immune from sickness, disease or stupidity. They statistically take more chances than people older, have a higher level of activity and as such, are at a higher risk of injury.

22 year olds do get sick, they do have injuries and vehicular accidents don't only involve soccer moms or the elderly. Then, if they do get injured or a sickness, good luck getting insurance to cover a pre-existing condition.

I'd wager there are a lot of 22 year old dying of cancer right now wishing you well in your health.

What's next, kids with leukemia?
