Know what the best thing about national healthcare service? I don’t have to think about it. It’s there. How much it costs? Doesn’t matter? Will I become destitute if severely ill? No. Do I allow my fellow countrymen to be supported in times of need? Absolutely. Do I obtain natural hedging benefits from pooling risks into a bigger pot rather than having broken risk pools managed by thousands of insurance companies? Yup. Do countries with national service have greater costs than for-profit insurance healthcare? Nope, quite the opposite. Is life expectancy shorter in countries with national service? No, on the contrary, people live longer.
Making sure everyone has access to treatment when in need should be viewed as a large achievement of societal living and a great patriotic duty, your fellow citizens are protected.

The pinnacle of human development.
