  1. But they pay sales tax! Yeah, and when I visit Canada, which is frequently because I live near the border, I pay the GST and PST (sales tax) on purchases I make there. So should Canada give me free healthcare then?🤔

  2. Healthcare isn't an intangible like free speech, freedom of religion, voting rights, etc. As Been Shapiro has stated many times, it's a commodity. Healthcare can never be "free" for anyone unless doctors start working for free. It can be "taken care of" by others, but never free. Who will "take care of it"? The government. Two big problems there. One, the government couldn't run a lemonade stand if they were given free lemons...and two, "the government" doesn't have some giant magic self-funded piggy bank, the taxpayers fund the government. Are there better ways to run the healthcare system? Sure. But single payer government run is not the answer. I worked in medical finance for years and did the spreadsheets. The Medicare and Medicaid systems are a joke. The hospital just eats the costs that the government doesn't cover. As of 2014, that was every dollar above $248 for a Medicaid patient. The hospital of course makes up for it by charging people's insurance $50 for an Advil, and about $10 grand for a bed for a night. Many more problems than this, but I can only type for so long.
