It might also give it some credibility if you could list the actual source.

Just look up 'most democratic countries,' or something along those lines. The list is always similar, no matter for what year or who puts it together. Unless everyone just makes it up.
I hate the idea of paying someone thousands of dollars just because something might happen to me someday. Then when something does happen to me, I have to haggle with the insurance company, and they do not even want to cover the full cost, even though the money I have already sunk into their pockets throughout the years far exceeds the full cost of the treatment. I would much rather pay higher taxes, instead of wasting my time dealing with and paying all kinds of middlemen and third parties.
Of course when people want specialty procedures and surgeries, let them pay for that, but I think it would be nice if at least check ups and common treatments were 'free.'
That is how I feel about most forms of insurance. Required auto insurance is theft in my opinion, but that is a topic for a different day.
