Of course it does. If I steal your money, then I can afford my healthcare. Socialism makes everything free.
Oh but I can't steal it, can I? Because your preferred currency was invented by libertarians, not the state.
You can go an live somewhere there is little to no government if you want.
Begone to Haiti. Or Mali. Enjoy.
But you won't because you are not that insane or suicidal, are you?
No, you are an incessant hypocrit, complaining about government 'theft' but nevertheless clinging like a baby to the teat of safety, comfort, wealth and security that the state provides you.
Governments exist due to market demand - they provide services people want - humans are weak and vulnerable individually and need the legal, property ownership and security framework that governments provide.

The state gave me a $1,000 stimmy check. Bitcoin tripled my life savings in a matter of years. The market treats me better. The state hates me. It hates everyone.

Taxation is not a response to market demand, it's negation of market demand.
If the Japanese government demanded you pay them taxes, you wouldn't like it. But if your own government does the same thing, you think it's going to a good cause? Taking your money is the cause. Everything else is rationalization and propaganda.

Taxation compulsion is required for equity because there will always be selfish freeloading parasites who cling to the security and wealth the state enables, even seizing the assistance kindly dispensed in times of hardship, but who show no appreciation but only take take take.
Pay your taxes or begone to prison you ungrateful bludger.
If you dont like it go live somewhere there is little or no state. But you will not because you are a bleating strawman selfish parasitic hypocrit.

I don't have to leave. I can just liberate my own territory from the state. 1776 will commence again.
