But my real point above is that I changed my ‘natural’ position on it for pragmatic reasons. I’ve done the same for immigration.
I used to dismiss concerns about inequality, thinking the focus should be on reducing poverty, not worrying about rich vs poor gaps. But people aren’t wired to ignore that. That’s just a fact. So I decided we need to worry more about it for the sake of political stability.
Same with immigration. I am by nature an expansionist (though hardly an open borders guy). But too much immigration in too short a time causes political instability so I’ve compromised there too.

I’m not understanding your point but you can have a hybrid public-private system that is universal. Like the UK.

Like the UK.
I hear lots of terrible things about the UK's system, mostly from Americans and the Daily Mail, however my own personal experience of it has been quite positive.

I seem to think that when I lived in Canada, the money I paid for Ontario Health was a fraction of what I'm now paying for private - and I don't even know the full cost here as my employer picks up a big chunk of it.
