Similar to the equally shirll "government can't do anything right" argument argument that is also borne from emotion.

Fair enough. As it happens, I do think that it's immoral for a wealthy developed nation to not provide basic health care to all its citizens.
But I guess for me that's only one of about 90 reasons to not go the route that the U.S. has. Really, only one interest group benefits--and that's the health care industry that gets to suckle at the government teat while standing on the shoulders of the middle class. It's a nice deal for them, but horrible for just about everyone else. In all honesty, a 100% private system would probably be far better.
