Isn't basic health protection really like protection against fires and crimes? Anyone in this country can call the fire department or the police department if they need help - for no extra charge. We're all taxed to pay for that.

But thats paid for in a different form. The uniforms, cars, communications, hoses, trucks, etc don't change if they come to my aid. If they are caught short on personnel, my house might burn, my burglary might not be investigated immediately, but I don't bleed to death.
The police don't guarantee many any relief from crime, they basically make the bad guys pay as a deterrent. The fire department doesn't prevent my house from burning down, they primarily try to save people and prevent the spread. Both very important, but I want my medical team to save my life, not cuss the disease or bury me. I don't think anyone has been able to show a socialist plan that works better than ours, even though they benefit from our research and development.
