How is it more moral to force someone to provide care for free than it is to tax the populace to provide universal care?

  I wish those advocating universal taxing for crappy care would take the moral high road and not rob his fellow citizen to pay for his bills. Instead, let his fellow citizen give freely in love. Universal healthcare is such a moral sham, and what we have now in the US is also pretty bad. There is a better way.

    If you really mean donations, you are not going to get that many billions of dollars in donations. This specific "better way" does not exist. If you're trying to get enough hospitals to do this that people don't just go to a cheaper hospital, then almost all hospitals are going to have to raise their prices... and that's effectively the same as a tax. They're "robbing" every patient the same way.

      Of course I mean donations, either through your family, church, or beyond. Of course it’s possible, there’s even a network now called Samaritan’s that facilitates this. The hospital can turn of course offer to foot the bill, but can do so only after you’ve exhausted other options. But none of this is forced.

        You won't get enough. People will go bankrupt, which makes everyone else pay but in a messier and overall worse way than taxes.
