I am in the US and I would be happy to chip in to help pay for health expenses of a poor person, who has no family, etc.
What I am NOT willing to do, however, is pay enormous overhead to the the insurance/healthcare/bill-processing complex which sucks out the blood out of this country.
I bet most people in the US object not to some kind of a social contract to help the less fortunate, but to the completely broken system.

- nojvek 10y agoThere'll always be a few against. What matters is more than 50% agree on it. Health insurance is a PITA here. Physio in Canada charged me $60/ session. Here it's $240 per session. Insurance pays about 100 but I still pay $140 out of my pocket. America has a crazy obsession of being rich that people will easily screw others to make a buck. It's a very stark difference to Australia and Canada.
