But hospitals do provide you with free treatment, and charge patients with money an additional percentage to fund that. I know some want govt to pay for treatment - but you are still paying for it through taxes, plus half goes to fat bureaucrats who only come into the office once a month. Worse, you lose the incentive for the hospital to provide excellent treatment. The rich will stop using them if the treatment is shoddy - but they don't care if govt is paying for shoddy treatment.

In real life, I've seen too much shoddy "free" dental work (paid for by govt). Like pulling the wrong tooth. Oh well, you'll have to come in again. So I can get paid again by the govt. When your teeth are all gone, the govt will pay for your dentures.
