To me it comes down to this...
Some people believe that a nationwide government run healthcare system at the expense of the tax payers is a good idea. They like the idea of the entire country being covered medically and they think the tax payers should front the cost.
Some people don't like the idea of a nationwide government run healthcare system at the expense of the tax payers. They, mostly, believe that your aren't and shouldn't be "entitled" to healthcare because you live in the US.
It think a lot of it comes down to a question of morals. Some people believe in "share the wealth", a very socialist view where everyone is taken care of at a base level. Modern democrats seem to share this philosophy and set of ideals. Other people believe you should get what you earn. That people aren't entitled to anything for free. This is very Republican and Libertarian...
No matter what side of the fence you stand on the United States was founded to ensure that your own opinions and freedoms are yours. The Constitution and Bill of Rights were setup to protect the people of the United States from the government forcing you to follow (by paying for) either ideal. It's not supposed to be a, "the majority thinks it's right so let's vote it into law" type of thing. That's just wrong... Just because you think something is the right thing to do doesn't mean everyone else is wrong if they don't agree with you and that they should all be forced to follow your own ideals... even if the majority believes what your believe.
The government is overstepping (and has been for quite some time) its boundaries. A government controlled healthcare system is another means of control and regulation and a way of redistributing wealth in the name of a good cause...
Just because you believe in the ideal doesn't mean it's "right" and it certainly doesn't mean you should want the government to "do something about it". This situation is floating to the surface with greater frequency than ever and the day will come when you don't agree with the ideal that's being forced down your throat. But you'll be powerless to stop it because you were FOR adding all that government regulation and control in that made additional laws and regulations possible later down the line...
