That's pragmatism and realism.
There is going to have to be a cultural shift where most people feel that the moral imperative of universal healthcare is more important than their feeling that taxation is bad.
You can't force it. People need to WANT it.
We have NO problem finding money to engage in half wars whenever we want to and even when we DON'T want to. Fuck the cost; we should just afford paying for people's health because THAT is why we have a social structure. It is there to make things better for people.
