Reply to comment by Cloudeur in Julia Roberts reveals Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King paid the hospital bill for her birth by CharlieDarwin2
Paying for it to the hospital and to taxes is the same thing essentially. Do you not understand that? You're paying for it either way

No it’s not.
Directly would be incredibly expensive per individual. Through taxes it’s collectively paid. That’s the biggest difference.
People reference their healthcare services as « free » because they don’t have to pay out of pocket.

Then when you go to the hospital you use a one person size slice of that giant sum. That is not a different cost than going to the hospital and paying a one person size slice to them
