Like all commie ideas, "free" (taxpayer funded, government controlled) healthcare is only a positive if you are a zero-ambition pauper or an outright parasite who is looking to get as much as possible while contributing as little as possible.

This is just absolute nonsense spouted by someone with zero experience of living in a country with universal healthcare.

A trip to the emergency room in the US can very easily run over $30,000. If that trip is caused by, say, a poisonous snake bite, you may be looking at over a $100,000. Long term hospital stays with needs for multiple operations and physical therapy can run over a million dollars.

You don't have to be 'zero-ambition pauper' or an 'outright parasite' to not be cool with the idea of never being able to buy a house because you accrued financially devastating medical debts in a car accident in your 20's.

If you want to talk about parasites, look at insurance companies. Literally no different to gamblers.
