The trouble with managing people's health security through a government is that eventually a Congresscritter will see a way to plow through "all that money,just sitting there waiting to be used" for pet rock projects, and not the person who put the money aside through a mandatory removal of 7.5% of his paycheck for the duration for the future.

Not if you understand that a single-payer system would save ordinary people money, since they wouldnt have to pay health insurance premiums.
