But they get health insurance that is cheaper per capita than the US, and they get maternity leave, and they have longer life expectancy, and lower infant mortality, and less student loan debt, and nobody goes broke from medical bills there... should I go on?

This is the lie that Americans have fallen for: taxes are the ultimate evil. Americans seem to be willing to pay more money to private companies than they would to the government just because they've fallen for the lie that government is inherently bad.

Universal healthcare is cheaper than a private health care system per capita and in aggregate. Americans have just fallen for too many scare tactic lies from the Republican party and their propaganda machine like Fox News.
