Everyone, whether privately insured or not, gets hospital treatment at no
cost.

They converted you to a Socialist. Everything has a cost. That is what
scares me about the proposed system, we don't know what the real cost is
going to be. Yes, it would be ice to give everyone good health care, but
who is going to pay how much?

In that case we've been Socialists for years: Roads and highways,
police, fire departments, the military, Coast Guard, water treatment
plants, NASA, the judicial circuits, schools, parks, community power
consortiums... The things people need to live.

Here is an interesting set of charts for your edification:
