Default Re: Universal Health Care

It may seem reasonable... but can you give us an example?

Depends on how you define "better", and that is purely a subjective measure based on personal values. I can say that UK's universal health care is better than the US system (even if free market) if I define "better" as % covered. Of course, many if not most would not consider this the only measure of merit. But measures of merit are ultimately subjective -- there is no absolute moral standard to compare them.
