Here's the thing, it's already paid for from your taxes. Some countries choose to feed the military machine where a few billion lost here and there isn't an issue. However, when it cones to healthcare, it's an insurmountable cost.
Know what the best thing about national healthcare service? I don't have to think about it. It's there. How much it costs? Doesn't matter? Will I become destitute if severely ill? No. Do I allow my fellow countrymen to be supported in times of need? Absolutely. Do I obtain natural hedging benefits from pooling risks into a bigger pot rather than having broken risk pools managed by thousands of insurance companies? Yup. Do countries with national service have greater costs than for-profit insurance healthcare? Nope, quite the opposite. Is life expectancy shorter in countries with national service? No, on the contrary, people live longer.
Making sure everyone has access to treatment when in need should be viewed as a large achievement of societal living and a great patriotic duty, your fellow citizens are protected.
But sure, without insurance middlemen milking people dry some people won't get to enjoy their third mansion. Well, only if someone doesn't have preexisting conditions otherwise you're on your own and left to get treatment when in need and filling bankruptcy at the same time. The pinnacle of human development.
A local joint in my area did something like this last year. A five dollar burger with two patties, and one dollar per extra patty, no limit.
I'm sure in practice there would have been a limit, but we got a lot of burger for twenty dollars that day. It came skewered and served on its side in what I'm guessing was a submarine sandwich tray.
Bulk savings. Buy once, only drive once, no further transport for a week; no waiting for food to cook (just reheat), no prep time or cooking time. 4am and hungry, burger. Noon, burger. Evening, burger. Have a pet that is running low on food? Burger.
And they say "time is money" so actually it's like -$3 per burger once you do the math. Galaxy brain ain't got shit on this.
I'm currently planning a night out with friends where we plan to eat an abomination like this as the "fun thing before we go drinking". Mind that this is not the US, so half this size is the worst we could find.
Reminds me of 'why do Americans eat like they have free universal health care?'
I'm 100% positive this isn't real
I'm not
Nobody have free health care in the world

Don’t bother engaging with this person. They are a bad-faith Nazi.
