I never understood why people are against some form of universal healthcare. The idea of "socialism" or "communism" scare many conservatives, but it just doesn't make sense here.

How universal healthcare sorta works - we all put money in a pot, and use it to pay for healthcare.

How health insurance works - we put money into a company, who uses it to pay for healthcare, while taking a significant cut as it's a private entity.

With the correct organization (which the government is notoriously terrible at) it would seem to me that it could only be cheaper to have taxpaid healthcare?
