I supported Jeremy Corbyn, so I am also way more socialist than you average Brit, but the answer to "Why should I pay for someone else's healthcare?" is actually quite simple - human decency. Do you really want people to actually DIE? I hope not and that you'll rather pay "for someone else's healthcare" than to see them suffer and if YOU are ever bad on your luck and need the help, I'll gladly pay for your healthcare if you need it, because I know that you paid into the system when you could and now we're just paying you back. I am already paying taxes for a lot of things that I may not want to anyway, like overbudget defense spending, over the top salaries for MPs, failed research, government websites that cost way more than they should and other initiatives that nobody asked for, financial support for hugely profitable multinationals etc. etc. - if I am paying for that, OF COURSE I'll pay into a system that will help a human being when they need it and be confident that I or my family members can expect the same, should it ever come to it. It always seemed to me that in the U.S. they're fed up with having to pay for an excessive budget, yet they always blame the wrong part of it for their high taxes - don't blame healthcare spending, blame the way it's implemented, blame the fact that over 50% of your tax dolars is spent on the military, blame the failed, overbudget F-35 project etc. etc. DON'T blame Flint residents who don't even have access to clean water - where's the logic in that?
