Of course modern governments have, to one degree or another, decided they can take by force money from people who have it and give it to people who want it.
Now, the government can even take money from people who have not even been born yet (borrow and run up debt) and force them to pay for what politicians borrow.
Gradually, charity and individual consensual self sacrifice for the benefit of those less fortunate is being replaced by total government control of our lives. Who knows where that will end.
As far as health care, in my opinion I am already paying for quasi- universal health care through government enabled insurance cartels and government/medical profession limitations on the number of physicians available. Maybe some kind of “single payer” system will come eventually but Medicare for All is not a good answer.
