We can have a universal healthcare system just because it makes sense. A healthy population functions better and a universal healthcare system leads to better outcomes overall (versus the US where some people have access to amazing healthcare while many others have none).

Being compassionate doesn't mean taking an uncritical stance toward the causes of the problems, otherwise it is just indifference under the guise of compassion. We already have that.
Stupid f-ckwit anti-vaxxers need healthcare too, I'm afraid, just like their kindred spirits hanging out in Central Memorial Park.
