And what makes you say that you and your wife would not be treated in a national health system the same way?
Actually, that is an outstanding question and needs an honest reply.
My wife and I are SCUBA divers and travel around the world. If we have a major medical problem in another country, we are responsible for paying for that health care. Your "free" health care will not apply to us Americans when we need medical help in your country.
As SCUBA divers, we know that this is a major problem, so we purchase extra health insurance to cover us in this type of situation. The insurance company knows that this is a very low risk, so the cost is almost minimal. So minimal, that I can not even remember how much D.A.N. costs per month.
SCUBA related injuries can be very expensive and will require immediate medical help, or death will result.
That is the fantastic thing about a free market: If there is a need, someone will create a company to provide that service. And in a free market, the lowest price will always win.
