I, for one, don't see much difference in paying $10,000 in tax plus $5,000 in health insurance and paying $15,000 in tax which covers 'free' health insurance. In this example, the citizen enjoys the same cost and benefits on both sides of the border.

The difference is one is voluntary and the other is not. If health insurance is not a government function the individual getting the insurance has more flexibility. He or
she can decide to go for more or less coverage or even no coverage.
