To add to this, I'm a selfish guy from Canada. However, I realize it's in my selfish interest to have an healthy and well educated population in order to improve my own quality of life and those of my loved ones (to which my selfish interests extend).

I mean, we are not saints here, we all make decisions that we believe are good for us. I just can't imagine how one can rationalize that private healthcare and insurance is good for them.
