You are right that you are covered because you looked after your life. But there are many people, who because of circumstance or personal reasons, are just not covered under the American system. In Canada everyone is covered regardless of their situation. There is coverage even for long-term care and people do not have to lose their homes or life savings. I do not begrudge taxes going to pay for health care for any of these people. It is a system that works for the people and not for the insurance companies.
