Now if you desired health-care for everyone in a society/community that EVERYONE supports it then there is no problem since everyone there is willing to pay for it, but the problem begins when people say "universal" and wish for people who don't want in to pay for it.
Ignoring your redefined definition of what "universal health care" is, throughout history, nearly every time progress was made in a particular instance, there was always fervent opposition to it. The introduction of Social Security is one good example. Opponents, foaming at the mouth, would claim all all sorts of wrongs and ills using egregious fallacies. Today, a huge majority of people support Social Security because they realize the good it does for society.
I support government intervention, only, and if only, it benefits society. DHS, National Security and others pretend to benefit society, but for nefarious reasons, do not. I don't support that kind of intervention.
and not having access to both are fundamentally harmful to society.[citation needed]
It should be obvious. The United States lags and lacks behind other Western World nations in education. We're at number 22 in rank last I checked, and a lot of that has to do with the fact that education isn't as valued both culturally, institutionally, and politically these days. Naturally, having terribly unfunded and under subsidized education causes a long-term brain drain for the country. This is incredibly harmful to society, and will only get worse until those who deny it finally admit it and publicly address it.
