Personally I'd rather know that the cashier at the supermarket has free health care courtesy of the wealthy who can afford the premiums and other costs. The alternative might be that the cashier can't afford to go to the doctor, and show up at work with a communicable disease and infect everyone instead.

The health of EVERYONE is good for the collective. One sick person = the potential for another Typhoid Mary, or another pandemic.
