Scott Adams has no idea what he's talking about and is reaching for a pithy and wrong oversimplification, per usual.
A mandate to receive emergency care is not universal healthcare. You still die from the cancer you get and can't afford to treat because it is not emergency care.
NPR doesn't have a liberal agenda, who knows what you're talking about. If anything, they bend over backwards to hit "both sides" and corporate narratives.
Nonetheless, if you were to come down with an acute illness that requires hospitalization, or break a leg (god forbid), you will get care whether you have the means or not. That is, by definition, "universal" healthcare. I did say he simplified the situation, but not by much. He did it for the purposes of persuasion, as he often does.
His main point was, _we are already paying_ for universal healthcare, since everyone who _really_ needs the expensive stuff done, gets healthcare care. It's hard to argue with this.

NPR tries to show both angles of stories that tend to be primarily on the liberal radar.
They are my main source of news, but there is a lot of truth to "you report what you see", and most of the reporters are liberal, so they cover liberal issues. I agree that they go out of their way to correct for that bias, and I appreciate that they do.
