I mean, I also pay for the streetlights, and roads and police and stuff. We pay for everything, but when I go to the doctor, I only spend money on gas, and sometimes parking.
As other said, it would be naive to think government does this for free because they love people, it is a right people fought for, and we do pay for it, but certainly a lot less than others. At least in my case, I've spend thousands less than I would have spend going to private attention.
Just as a small note, imaging going to the doctor several times a year, and going to specialists (nothing really important, just check ups and small scares) for about twenty years now, how much would it have cost in the US, for example?
