in the UK everyone is guaranteed health care. it's not conditional on any employment. many countries offer similar care to their citizens and even visitors.
you never have to sit up at night railing against your boss's harassment because your kid needs healthcare and you can't quit.
Yeah, I didn't say otherwise - at least I didn't try to
But the people working health care and the buildings, medicine etc needs to be paid for.
And this happens due to a insurance, every one who is working pays into.
That way it was always easier for me to explain US Americans how the health care can be free for the individual.
