I have always found it puzzling why so many people in the US appear to
prefer spending vast amounts of money financing private health care to
paying more in progressive taxation to finance a cheaper but better system
available on the basis of need. It must be because of an ingrained suspicion
of the state and taxes that goes beyond any form of reason; and a dislike of
anyone getting 'something for nothing'.
The British system is also very good, though under attack and creaking at
the seams because the same objection to redistributive taxation has taken
hold here in the last 20 years.
