Higher Taxes is the point ! Many citizens as myself have a tough time making our house & utilities payments where we can't afford to give another $250.oo for some new healthcare plan which covers everyone in the USA. Why should we pay higher taxes for more government intervention.

Most modern health care systems spend either less per person, or the same amount per person as the U.S. system, and achieve much better results. (The U.S. is 38th in the world for quality of health care.) While your taxes will increase to pay for a public health care system, your overall cost will only increase if you never contract a serious illness in your life.

Let us as citizens pay for healthcare when we need the care.

And if you can't afford to pay, then we should just let you rot?

Not all hospitals are the same... and without a doubt the waiting time would increase no matter where you are.

Do you have any evidence that the waiting time would increase? Since I doubt that you do, you can hardly say that it's "without a doubt".
