    I mean as cool as this is, it’s exactly the story the right uses to oppose it.

    Non tax paying, non citizens getting subsidized healthcare. A conservative horror story for the ages

      I have a similar story that works much better:

      When I lived in Japan, I cracked a rib. Went to the doctor, got an x-ray, and a follow up appointment. Total cost to me, with insurance, ~$50. Cost without insurance (e.g. a tourist) would have been ~$160
