It's the same principle, and there are different types of payment schemes in relation to different universal healthcare systems, and some have a mixture of private and public.
So you are really just taking money from your own taxes and are seeing a doctor paid for by taxes.
We have Medicaid for Free Healthcare
We have Food Banks for Free food
We have Free Breakfasts, Lunches and Dinners through the Schools
We have Free food through the Food Stamp EBT programs
Of course none of it is “FREE” - Taxpayers PAY for it.
31% PAY the other 69% and it’s unsustainable . Add to that, no matter what they get as “FREE” …
It’s never enough. They want, even demand more,more,more.
Then what would your solution be? Let them starve to death? Raise a bunch of kids who can't learn in school because they are hungry? What would you do?
There's a reason why we're the only first world country without universal healthcare and also why we're at the bottom of all the first world healthcare lists....
I mean if you dig down and happen to come across an underground stream and it is also being used in a villiage further down. Like they discovered it too.
To simplify it more. Your property has a river running through it. You can use it for any purpose so long as it doesn’t negatively affect the people using it down river.
If you build a structure, or if it is underground, then that structure such as a well is yours to use.

Only if you are one of the few unfortunate enough to be paying taxes.

The appropriate solution is to let the people who care support people less fortunate VOLUNTARILY.
Using the threat of violence (force of government) against peaceful people in order to take their stuff and give it to others who didn't earn it is theft.
No, that's actually capitalism, when you have a right to "other people's labor."
Because under the Soviet system for example ( i.e. REAL Socialism) no one was entitled to "other people's labor."
