And like I said, if you were to go with the healthcare system I listed more people could afford healthcare thereby reducing those costs. You can't exchange one tax scheme for another and say it's all fixed. That's not the real solution, that's a hack. A multi-trillion dollar hack at the expensive of the tax payers.

The plan has flaws. I am not denying that. We can thank Lobbyists and those who refuse to compromise on that.
The reality is that Medicare keeps most of us alive after the age of 65. It does a good job doing that. It is ran by the government and it is subsidized by the people. You do make the valid point that nobody *has* to subscribe to it.
The reality is that Americans are dumb. If they weren't, there wouldn't be so many uninsured people that have insurance available to them and can pay for it.
The other half of that is that these same idiots still get sick at some point in their life. We can't gamble on whether they have enough to pay their bills or if they will pay their bills.
Let's just get everybody covered. It's not like utilization is going to go through the roof just because everybody has coverage. It will go up, but not through the roof.
Besides, preventative health care is THE BEST health care. Get people to a doctor BEFORE they get sick and save money in the end.
EDIT: Wait, we ALL currently subscribe to Medicare. We are subscribed to paying for it. It is a deduction we all pay.
