Of course, but it seems to me he’s already paying taxes (including some that go to other people’s health care), his insurance premiums*, and an $100 co-payment. Americans as a whole pay far more for their healthcare (both per capita and as a portion of GDP) than people in other countries.

*which, if he’s employed, includes an employer contribution that might otherwise go to his salary, and an a tax credit that his own taxes are subsidising.
