...those who want national health insurance want it because they want it,

Because they think anything Free has to be a bargain.

[quadrant]

Not exactly. The most avid supporters are not those who lack health insurance. The most avid are those who see national health insurance as an essential element of a modern state. The US is, they repeat, the only industrial society without a national health insurance plan. Other countries have it, so should we.
