Why Should everyone have health care?

Empathy is why. When you're ill, don't you want to be cured, or at least helped? Societies and groupings high in empathy, both amongst animals and humans seem to do better in survival situations, in a sociological, anthropological and an very literal sense. For anyone dealing with the modern medical system, even a minor ailment can cost an amazing amount of money -- and chronic illneses can literally bankrupt nearly anyone. Health Care Payment operations are able to negotiate lower rates based on a higher projected voume of business, and this savings can be -- in part -- passed on down to the patient. In any case, increasing access to healthcare allows for implementation of economies of scale. Going into detail on how to lower the cost of healthcare is way beyond the scope of this question. Sufficeth to say that everyone should have healthcare unless you're comfortable in your mind, your morals and your economy, that a certain number of collarteral deaths that could easily have been prevented, are acceptable.
