Is that what your own experience is? That's great! That means, you have never encounter someone in need that you were not able to help with your own resources.
If a mother came to you with her child in need of a liver transplant, and she doesn't have insurance, and she doesn't have the money, you would, without thinking twice, voluntarely commit to pay for the child's liver transplant as soon as a liver becomes available, right? Whether or not you have the money in the bank!
You know what if we lived in Eden, this would probably be true! Heck, no one would need liver transplant!
But we live "EAST of Eden!"
And it seems that the very same people who believe it is "unamerican" to pay a little more in tax to save their country from bancrupcy, also find it "unamerican" to pay for other people's health care, or anything else for that matter (exept for big defense contractors and big armement contractors, and big wars to "defend" their country against a threat 6000 miles away!)
Well, I prefer to help someone in my country, right here, in my State, in my County "defend" the life of his/her child, his/her parent by contributing to universal health care than I do to "defend" the interest of the big war monger industry.
Do I have that choice? Can the portion of my taxes that goes to the Pentagon, or that goes to big oil, or to big farming, or to Fox New's travelling expenses go toward my neighbor's child?
