Conservatives For Universal Health Care

Commenting upon some recent criticism of the US health care system by the Dutch health minister, Scott Sumner explodes the right-left divide:

Yes, some conservatives oppose any form of universal health care.  But at this point would any conservatives/pragmatic libertarians prefer the US health care system we will have 5 years from now over the Dutch, Swiss, or especially Singaporean universal health care plans?  And our “universal” plan will still have 20 million uninsured.  So for how much longer can progressives claim that universal coverage is the issue separating the left and right?
