I think that most people require transportation in order to work and many especially the young do not think they will need a doctor anytime soon.
Those without many assets probably figure they are safe to do without insurance as well since their emergency care will be taken care of with little fear of a hospital collection agency taking much from them to pay the bills.
Those who have assets and are uninsured or under-insured though are very much at risk of losing everything if they get injured or seriously ill. As one poster in this thread pointed out even those with what they thought was good insurance can find themslves in financial trouble after a major illness or injury.
