If everybody else jumped off a bridge, would you follow them? After
all, everyone else did it.



That would depend. On a hot summer day, from a low bridge into
clean water, perhaps. Today, with a 100+ foot drop into (onto) the
still frozen Hudson. No way.

More to the point, equating following the majority in an enterprise
that works for them (government health care) with jumping off a bridge
is rather foolish.
