What are conservative arguments for universal healthcare?

So you think I am a bigot because I am an economic/Reaganite conservative . Tell me exactly which position of ours is bigoted .

You're not a movement conservative, just a fiscal conservative, which means you're not necessarily bigoted but you are a foot soldier of multinationals who don't give a f**k about you and me.

Apart from that I do not have much to add to what Sanchez and Lechasseur have said -- for now.

Let me add that I consider myself to be a national conservative, which means that the preservation and wellbeing of one's nation is the main political priority (and that the nation has the right to govern itself; the nation should be the level on which policy-making should take place). A nation is more than just a big number of people randomly living in a certain area. It is a group of people that is historically connected through ancestry, history, culture, traditions, language, etc., a group that is worth preserving. One can derive from this that every individual in the group deserves good, humane healthcare, even if income differences are natural and, to a certain extent (decided by the nation), legitimate.
