Or is health something each individual takes care of before they need a hand out?
Smoking, alcohol consumption, Big Macs, unprotected sex, illicate drug use, irresponsible driving habits, all contribute to ER and hospital admittances.
The problem as I see it is that those asking for universal health care are the same folks who only think about health care after they do something that they knew was risky.
