Our neighbors to the south do not understand that ALL taxpayers must contribute in order for a single payer system to work. The law requires that all drivers have some form of auto insurance - that is what insurance is for. Costs are mitigated by a large pool. But they will not compel healthy (young) people to pay for health insurance - so  there are more sick people in the insurance pool hence driving up costs. The attitude is "I'm not buying, I don't use or need it, and I don't want to subsidize YOUR health care". It's all about my needs, not our needs. Get government out of the way and stop infringing on my rights.
