That was not the point. The point is that universal healthcare is taking money from my pocket and giving it to someone else.

If you ever have a serious illness or an accident money will be taken out of someone's pocket and given to you. Unless you don't have insurance and refuse treatment.
You can qualify everything as a "handout" then. Like private car insurance, which is taking money from you and paying to a driver who had an accident.
Maybe I'm missing the point too, but can't that description be applied to insurance itself? So what's your point?
