Payroll Taxes.
You may not pay into FICA, but you will pay into social security and medicare, regardless of income. That is where the pain comes to those barely making a living. Furthermore, even if you don't pay federal taxes, it is done by taking money from you today, and giving it back to you without interest at a later day. That damages poor and middle class workers that may need that money today, and are forced to either borrow, or go without.
I must also ask: If overhead is so much cheaper for government insurance, why does private insurance cost about 45% less per enrollment than Medicare in the US?

In my case, without Medicaid, I am looking at ZERO prospects to get health coverage now, and gewt help needed to get fixed up so I can at least work a part-time janitor position. Flat out, if you have better solutions to assist myself and others, NOW to help me get back on my feet, so I can be productive, do drop me a note. If you don't, you really don't have answers for people, outside of some unproven hypothetical world that is superior in your mind to what is.

Very well, I'll play your game:
What kind of degree do you hold, currently?
