No.

Well, actually there's even a bit of a difference on top of that.  You 
don't strictly *need* to pay taxes (for example, if you make zero 
income) to claim benefits as a patient.  Plus there are plenty of rich 
people who will pay a large amount of taxes, but will use cash-and-carry 
medical services.

There are real differences there.  Discounting those differences is 
oversimplification.

No matter how much social studies classes in the US try to brainwash 
people otherwise, the government is indeed a separate entity from the 
people.  There's a little more than a little bullshit in the preamble to 
the Constitution.
