Do people 'deserve' universal health care?

[steelish]

The lowest medical costs occur in countries with single-payer government run systems. These countries also score among the highest in the world for quality of care.

Yeah, sure. Which is why, I suppose, my dual citizenship (Canada and US) aunt and uncle are appalled that we are contemplating a National Health Care system. They claim that the Canada system is great for minor health care problems, but for the more serious stuff, they rely on the private health care that the US provides, stating that it has much higher quality health care.
