It really is swings an roundabouts...

We pay for our health care through national insurance taxes. We pay about
£100 out of every £2500 into our National Health Care Service (NHS)

Now I am not sure what you have to pay for health insurance in the US but
here in England I would rather have the choice and funnel that £100/month
into private health cover...
