You must be in the United States, richest country that still lacks universal healthcare for citizens.
Forget the humanistic reasons, it is economically better for your country to take care of citizens. Better health of citizens yields incredible benefits for an entire country.
Poor health increases disease among a population. That's expensive to manage in a population that's in a first world country. You see, universal health care allows people healthcare access to screen early and prevent much worse outcomes. You see, in the U.S., sick people go to an emergency room for care that could have been taken care of far earlier if that person had annual physical exams with a general practice physician.
Universal healthcare isn't all that easy to devise, but what exists in multiple countries is better than having no access to healthcare at all. I like it when people can still keep their private healthcare coverage if they choose to do so. Anecdotal, but I think that private healthcare you pay yourself tends to be better quality than a public system. But we still need to progress forward by creating universal healthcare for everybody. That's just WISE for a country to do this.
