Universal healthcare means there is no reward for success...payment to providers is minimal, and the same for hacks and top notch doctors alike.

Even though it costs a lot, I do not want to give up my right to choose my healthcare provider, and to have fast (same or next day) appointment for routine stuff, and not have deductibles or limits on care.

I would not want to be stricken with a critical illness while insured by a government program. My son is alive because our insurance was the best of the best, they immediately transferred him to the best facility, paid for experimental treatment that saved his life, paid for six weeks in ICU, and paid for all care afterward. We paid $20 out of pocket for copay on two prescriptions. The bills were close to $1M...if we pay our premium until we die we still won't have given it all back.
