No, national health care would have saved us all huge-huge amounts of money. It's simple math. If you take say a trillion dollars in health care money and you automatically give a third to the corporations as profit, then the whole system has 67% left. In idolizing corporations and privatization and demonizing government, the Reagan-Bushies have made us all one third poorer. That's it in a nut-shell. The program in Canada runs great. Everyone I've spoken to up there loves it. It raises taxes but saves them a lot more than it charges them. Also thre are no HMO executives whose job it is to limit or deny coverage. That's a huge conflict of interest. BTW, if you believe in "the right to life", you have to back health care as a right of every citizen. That's a million times bigger than the abortion issue.
