So now, even you are making the case for letting children die, while complaining about capitalism.
Fetuses aren't children... and there's only so much money you should spend trying to breathe life into a pile of medical waste.
See here's the difference, under may system where you pay for your own care, then you get what you are willing to pay for, or whatever charity is willing to help you with. There are plenty of charities that support medical care.
No poor child should have to rely on charity for basic health care.. The problem is, because of the greed of various profiteers, we spend twice as much per capita as other nations, and we have the worst health care metrics in the industrialized world.
Nothing even remotely “immoral” about your make believe bleeding heart story. You people have used that bullshit from the beginning of time in a pitiful attempt to justify your desire to steal and pillage what doesn’t belong to you.
When did the health of our children belong to the insurance companies? Sorry, man, we tried it your way... the insurance companies got rich and a lot of us got screwed. Single Payer. Deal with it.

Pretty easy to sit there, and tell other couples to let their kids die, because you decide their child isn't worth the money.
If I want to spend every single dollar I've earned in my life, to try and save my child, should I not have the right to do that?
But no, you are more interested in reducing our health care spending per capita, to match that of Europe, so you are going to leave children to die, like Europe.

Yeah, instead you let them die.
It is more moral for you to use charity, than it is force other people to pay for your care.
And quite frankly, charity routinely does a better job at helping people than anything government does. Have you been to the BMV? Have you been to the USPS? Maybe yours are different, but at both, it's like pulling teeth to get service. You really want health care run by the same people that have 7 registers, 3 employees working, and only 1 of the 3 is helping anyone, and there's a line out the door?
The problem is, because of the greed of various profiteers
Factually not true. I've explained the reasons we pay so much, and I can do so again. For one thing, all of the latest in medical innovation happens in the US, not in Europe. Europe is in effect, living off the medical advancements of the US.
When did the health of our children belong to the insurance companies?
Since I just listed a number of governments that let children die... You claim is misplaced.
That said, no one suggested it belonged to the insurance companies.
And it doesn't.
Work a job, and pay your bills. Because if you give your money to government, then you won't have any money to pay for medical bills AND they'll still let your kids die.
Better you have control, rather than government.
But if you still want that system, just remember this... the rich and wealthy get vastly better care than the public. This is true everywhere. In the UK, they have private hospitals only the rich can afford, and there is even a way to legally pay public hospitals to get 1st class service, while the rest of the country waits on multi-month, and sometimes even year long wait lists.
If you are fine suffering and dying while the rich get the best care.... your system is the way to achieve that.
In the US, you'll get the best care in the best time.... you'll just get an expensive bill. I can recover from a bill. I can't recover from death.
