Those of us who oppose a European Style healthcare system don't oppose it because we are selfish or want to see people suffer.
We just simply are making the case that the math doesn't add up for it and you cannot defeat math or economics just because you strongly support something

I simply don't believe that the United States in incapable of doing what western Europe has done because of financial reasons. There are about
400 million people in western Europe. If they can figure it out over there we
could figure it out over here. Will we? Should we? Those are different conversations, but
can we? Yes, we absolutely can, and nothing will convince me otherwise because we are wealthy, innovative and Europe has already pulled it off. They are not better or smarter than us. They are not capable of things that we are not. Saying we're not capable of pulling it off is a serious underestimation of American ingenuity.
