Some of my savings IS for my future health care. My parents and grandparents did the same.
I've said it before: If you want government health care, then go for it, but let people like me opt out. I don't want to pay for it and I don't want to use it.

Peaches, no one is saying go exclusively universal. Just have both. Your tax dollars already pay a lot for health care and those dollars could be used much better if a proper universal system was in place.
In addition your rates would go down for private care because these companies would have to fight for your business or risk losing you to the free care.
Everyone wins. You get to stay private and get to choose an HMO that truly wants to keep your business and gets their shit together.
