And here is why it would FAIL

People in this country have come to see healthcare as a RIGHT.

Someone has to pay for it when someone get sick. hit by a truck etc and does not have insurance or the money to pay for the healthcare

inevitably people will opt out and then need their life saved.

so healthcare costs go UP for people who pay for it to cover the people who dont.

bottom line is we have to make it universal or say sorry you die if you cant pay

It really is that simple...if it is a right then everyone has to pay for it via a VAT or whatever no amount of opt in free market bullshit is going to change that simple fact.
