“Do you want NHS-style health care? Do you want to not be? Just speak to any Canadian or British citizen, who cannot access vital services, tests, and procedures and who are directed to palliative care when the government puts a price tag on their lives.”
Brits and Canadians are healthier and live longer. And their cost of health care is far less than that in the US. Either those “services, tests, and procedures” must not be so vital, or a lot of Americans can’t get them, either. And in fact the latter is true as there are tens of millions of Americans who can’t get health insurance for any price. The Republicans today are ok with that. (That wasn’t always the case: Theodore Roosevelt, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, and Bob Dole supported universal health insurance.)
