Yeah, no, hard disagree. Every citizen should have the right to free healthcare, and it should be provided for everyone, regardless of any other factors.
Roads require labour of others to build and maintain, yet every American would object if they suddenly had to pay to use them to get anywhere - how is that any different. You're just moving the line elsewhere, but the exact same principles exist in America too.
And in countries with public healthcare private hospitals exist too.
The existence of toll roads in a country where 99.9% of roads are free to use has no impact on your ability to get anywhere, just like the existence of private hospitals doesn't change the fact that every citizen can receive free care from public hospitals in countries with public healthcare.
I have another reply to you that engages with all of your points. Feel free to respond to that. As of now, you haven't given any principled reason for which services should be provided free by the government and which should not.
1. Free travel is a right. At it's most basic, walking requires nothing from anyone else.
2. Everyone benefits from the economy being able to function. Only one person benefits from a person receiving a free million dollar medical procedure.
2) everyone benefits from the economy having healthy citizens who aren't worried about medical bankruptcy. It's not true that only one person benefits from receiving a million dollar medical procedure . Also outside of US medical operations don't cost a million dollars.
>> At it's most basic, walking requires nothing from anyone else.
Also, to add to this point - no, walking anywhere requires permission from whoever owns the land you are walking upon. Americans also are incredibly restrictive here, despite being the land of freedom. In UK you have the right to roam[0], where you are allowed to walk through someone's private lands(as long as you don't damage anything). In the US try walking through someone's land - you will be shot in the worst case.
