Quote:She may have family or friends who are. She may feel Healthcare is a universal right.

On a certain level I agree with this. Not every aspect is, but the other day I had a physician friend whose colleague tried to refer a patient to a prestigious private hospital system in TN. The patient had a condition which would lead to meningitis if not treated and which they were specially equipped to treat. The hospital system refused her because she didn't have insurance. I have never heard of this happening before, but it felt wrong to him and to me. If you have a condition which can be treated and is life-threatening, I do not believe you should be rejected just because you cannot pay. But at the same time, that surgeon/hospital team does deserve pay too. This is where having a universal 'option' would make sense.
