The problem with the healthcare argument is that as soon as someone mentions coverage for all the argument becomes "socialized medicine" which is apparently a conclusion that you have suggested with your "covered by taxpayers" comment.
The reality is that in many countries ALL people have decent healthcare and not necessarily from a socialist program and for a heck of a lot less money per capita...if anyone is truely interested in learning more about the possibilities I suggest you watch the following program:
