Because Government bureaucracies are inherently inefficient by design. They take more resources than they give out.
And a National Healthcare System would be just that.
Socialized healthcare will eventually be forced to limit it's services as a way to keep its self from bankrupting it's country.
As the baby boomers retire the Social Security Agency will begin paying out more than it gets in revenue---so far that could rise to tens of trillions of dollars.
What is the governments response---they will either RAISE the age to get social security--or raise the Taxes to get more for social security.
This is what we can look forward to when we nationalize our healthcare system.
In the beginning--everything will be great---in the end---WE ARE TOAST!
We will end up paying more and more in taxes and getting less and less in benefits with no way to opt for private insurance.

We have government programs in place to help out. I do not need nor want any more government interference in my life. I have worked hard all my life and made sure to have health insurance. And from the stories of waiting lists, lack of proper care and doctors it doesnt sound like a good system. And people who think it is free are wrong. Nothing is free as it will be paid for by taxes.

national health care is only a good idea in theory in reality it destroys the tax base
