It's not the same. It's about social security. I pay high tax now with high amount of money for universal health care in my country, and I'm sure I would never ever have to spent that much money in my whole life for my health care or my family (I spent about 850€ per month only for health insurance). Most people pay less than that and that's okay. It's about the wealthy subsidizing the less wealthy.
Sure I can survive if I put everything to my saving. I would be able to pay the bill (I think, at least).
I don't have to worry about money at all if anyone of us got sick.
