OK, so when this is rolled out and healthcare costs don't come down, but rather increase at the same rate, will you be happy to pay another 10-20% in taxes knowing the problem isn't solved?
If you only care about yourself, ask what would happen if you developed a serious illness or were in a bad accident: very few people have the millions of dollars needed to survive something like that and you have no way to know if that's going to happen or avoid it even if you did.
I'd say I'd gladly pay more in taxes not to have to worry about that except that the experience of every other developed nation suggests it'd be a massive price reduction.
