Reminds me of ‘why do Americans eat like they have free universal health care?’

Free at the point of use isn’t the same thing as free.

Yes you are so much smarter than everyone else and you’re the only one capable of understanding that government services are paid for with taxes.

Last time I replied to a comment here my comment got deleted for violating "be civil’ rule. I’m going to violate again and tell you… Are you really this dumb? Cant you comprehend what people mean when they say free healthcare you muppet? Mods. When are you going to implement a “don’t say dumb things” time? Why do we have to be civil against obvious empty buckets for brains?

Can you please go to some forest already, where you don’t have to pay taxes, so the rest of us can have a civilization and support each other like actual people.
We can even try to make taxes a subscription thing. We will pay for the roads you walk on for free, you have to deal with the other bullshit using private companies. You don’t get healthcare unless you can pay for it, electricity, water, even justice. All of that will have to come out of your pocket.
Meanwhile, we will go forward without you into the future.

I always love seeing people stating grade school facts like they’re some unique insight into the world. Really lets you know what level they operate on.

Here’s the thing, it’s already paid for from your taxes. Some countries choose to feed the military machine where a few billion lost here and there isn’t an issue. However, when it cones to healthcare, it’s an insurmountable cost.
Know what the best thing about national healthcare service? I don’t have to think about it. It’s there. How much it costs? Doesn’t matter? Will I become destitute if severely ill? No. Do I allow my fellow countrymen to be supported in times of need? Absolutely. Do I obtain natural hedging benefits from pooling risks into a bigger pot rather than having broken risk pools managed by thousands of insurance companies? Yup. Do countries with national service have greater costs than for-profit insurance healthcare? Nope, quite the opposite. Is life expectancy shorter in countries with national service? No, on the contrary, people live longer.
Making sure everyone has access to treatment when in need should be viewed as a large achievement of societal living and a great patriotic duty, your fellow citizens are protected.
But sure, without insurance middlemen milking people dry some people won’t get to enjoy their third mansion. Well, only if someone doesn’t have preexisting conditions otherwise you’re on your own and left to get treatment when in need and filling bankruptcy at the same time. The pinnacle of human development.

Even those who don’t work 3 jobs?

Even those that aren’t residents and happen to be visiting or on a visa.
“Our society must make it right and possible for old people not to fear the young or be deserted by them, for the test of a civilization is the way that it cares for its helpless members.”

Don’t bother engaging with this person. They are a bad-faith Nazi.
