I look at this at two different levels. One is as a systems analyst experienced in big government systems. My inner analyst recognizes the myriad problems with a national system like, say, Canada's and judges implementation of such a system here to be a disaster for the country long term.

The other level is from the perspective of a libertarian-minded individual, one getting on in years. That individual recognizes that as long as she can exercise choice to go outside the system, they can't screw things up enough in her lifetime to keep her from needed health care. While I strongly disapprove of a national system, I will reserve my outrage-level reaction for laws that make it illegal to go elsewhere.
