The US pays way more for a worse version of health care. There are very solid arguments from left wing economists as to why universal health care is significantly cheaper than non-universal health care. You've demonstrated zero understanding of the basic economic arguments around healthcare.

I wasn't arguing for or against health care. I was just pointing out a couple of the more extreme views on why people might support or be against it from a totally philosophical point of view.
My position is always that purely ideological positions never work in real life and always require compromise. I'm pro-universal health care as well. Although I wouldn't be against a small user fee ($20) to discourage superfluous visits.
