Your labor would be helping to ensure the protection of the rest of your country's citizenry, including the ones who didn't enlist to protect their own freedom. If someone becomes a doctor in a country with UHC, aren't they doing the same thing? Willingly providing their own labor when they know that it will be used by the government to serve the citizenry?
Well, isn't that the difference between tax and charity?
