I'm happy to see what appears to be a good faith debate with people with legit opposing views here.
Just to address your point, Casey, about entitlement: I don't think anyone - even on the far left - that health care workers should not be compensated. I agree with you that no one should be expected to work for free, no matter what field they're in.
Universal healthcare is about *government-subsidized* heathcare, which means taxpayer-funded.
The problem with privatized healthcare is that far too many people cannot afford the care they need, and that results in far too many people suffering or dying just because they couldn't pay for the medicine, treatments, or services they need.
Which disproportionately impacts the bottom 99% of us. Very few people in the US can honestly say money is no object.
We see health care as a right because we all need it, and when we do need care, we're not in a position to negotiate.
