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.

People need NASA to live? Do tell.

The founders carefully considered what the government should pay for and
listed it in the Constitution. There is nothing there about the government
paying for medical treatment. And schools, police, and fire departments are
not funded by the national government, nor are parks. I don't know what a
"community power consortium" is but there is certainly no Federally funded
power grid.

Here is an interesting set of charts for your edification:

And the government paying for it is going to alter those charts in what way?
