How is this not communism?

In theory he would have worked too and have paid in so that when he needed the help it was there. Of course, that is a theory and there are people who cheat the system just like they would treat any system.

I don't like the idea of people dying because they can't afford healthcare or having to decide between an opperation or going broke.

That said, I do realize that it has to be paid for somehow. With the exception of those that are unable to work for valid reasons everyone should be working and contributing into the pot they may need to claim from one day. In theory (again) the system should be there to catch those people have fallen so that they can get up again.
