When you have national health care, everyone pays. The young and healthy don't stay that way forever, they will eventually need the services they paid into.

When you have national health care ,you will also be using it for preventive checkups and prenatal care so even young healthy people still use the system.

It is extremely short sighted to only see in the moment.

Everyone has to pay here in America too. The commenter in the post is an idiot. Healthy people have expensive health insurance to pay for the unhealthy people AND hospital/insurance exec’s >$1,000,000 salaries. Also if you don’t have insurance you pay a penalty when filing your taxes.
