I'm not living in the US of A, but when I see what people have to pay to get medical services I understand very well why they avoid them. When one treatment costs as much as a person earns in a year, there is something very wrong with the system.

Most countries in the industrialised world make you pay for healthcare services, but most of those countries also manage to restrict that price to something fair and affordable.

That original quote suggests that he would also avoid having to pay huge amounts for medical service. Doesn't address paying non-huge amounts. Also doesn't address morality, just whether people choose to pay more or less for a service.
