I don't know why anyone would not want a national health care system since we have become nations of people who are unable to fend for ourselves and leave much of our administration of almost every activity of our daily life up to our governement as is.
A healthy nation is a happy nation. Not to downplay it, but if you ever saw the movie 'John Q' with Denzel you would know what I mean. Illness of a loved on, or one's self can bring out the most vile of anger at the world around us. Is one of the stages/steps of many topics on the subject as well as of on death and dying.
Having less fear and added stress of not being able to pay for services or validate an insurance insurance card (especially in an emergency) is an engagement that drops the human compassion level which even leaves even hospital staff (doctors, nurses, admin) at a lesser level of (true or anticipated) stress. If the object of the health facility is to help or heal, how can they? How can the ill person not fall further into illness from the surrounding malevolent circumstances?
Despite the numerous values within statistics of violence, crime and the mere likelyhood of mistrust of those in authority (whether it be government, police or the medical establishment) wouldn't it make sense to have a system that values YOU as an individual and in turn the likelyhood of the repercussion from the angry, bitter and the seemingly helplessly oppressed declines solely because such person feels 'safer' and more stable in their own surroundings? Those that do not feel safe, have claws and teeth...guarenteed they will bite, scratch or even perish. Such circumstance would allow for plenty of opportunities to explode into mahem (suicide, violence, or general malaise from economic loss and burden).
Until such day as you can truly say that YOU take care and are responsible of yourself wholy and only for yourself (no cops, no doctors, no schools, no laws, no even traffic lights ) then by all means, save your cash to tuck under your own pillow and save for your future heart attack, if not, then be a compassionate person and distribute a few tax extra dollars to those less fortunate. It all does pay off in the long run.
