I get this perspective, and it's no judgment on you specifically for holding it, but from my point of view as another upper middle class person, my quality of life is also improved when my neighbours have the care they need.

I don't want to have to live in a gated community so that I can shut out the lepers, and that extends to things like schools too— I want a public school system that gives every kid a decent chance of succeeding and that goes the extra mile to provide supports to those who face additional challenges at home. Even at the cost of a potential opportunity for my own kid. Most of the world is not a zero sum game: the solution to scarcity is to invest and make more of it, not to fight over the scraps.

But if you're an American, it's more likely that you actually have average healthcare at higher than average wait times at much higher than average prices, which, unless you're extraordinarily rich, means your quality of life is diminished in other ways (lower quality of housing, maybe, or, idk, you have to retire later, whatever. Less vacations. Idk). And if you're extraordinarily rich the conversation is moot: you can always fly to wherever in the world for whatever private healthcare needs you have.

Above misconception of the reality of the quality of American healthcare, but also, will it though? If your government cut your military budget by 80% and spent it all on universal healthcare, what has changed about your situation? More people at the doctor so longer lines? I guess you don't think the healthcare system would be expanded to meet needs? Well I suppose that's possible, but it seems very short sighted.
