To ChanieE: I am sorry that I cannot provide citations to the Torah authorities that call for universal health care, but for personal reasons, my personal library is packed up and I cannot access the source at this time.
health: you make a number of unsound conclusions but you make one good point. End-of-life care under Torah is complicated by a number of considerations. As I said to ChanieE, my personal library is inaccessible, and I cannot check on the requirements. But if government care covers all other situations, then it would be relatively easy for a small group, like frum Jews, to provide reciprocal-style insurance coverage for Jews who want to make their end-of-life health-care decisions in accordance with Torah, without worrying about the financial ruin of their families.
