I was a conference once having dinner with a group of Yanks trying to explain to them why I was OK with paying higher taxes to support universal healthcare . They just didn't seem to understand why I was so concerned about covering everyone. I also could not convince them that Canada had decent healthcare.
I had that conversation with an American sitting beside me on a flight once. I told him how my Dad had a heart valve replaced in his late 40s and that there was no cost to our family beyond the taxes we had already paid. He wasn't swayed by the idea that extending my Dad's his life for several decades without putting our family in debt was worth it.
