Alternativly you may chose private health insurance to your liking.
The only condition by the state is that you have healthcare to begin with.
Btw, the US already has the western worlds most expensive health care system. Per capita the US spends much more then any other country as well. THere is not a lack of money in your system. It is simply extremly inefficient. That happens when private companies start to run a business where they can make money out of exactly that.
If you broke that system of yours you could have much better conditions for the same money or the same for much less. Instead it's become a black and white question, to be or not to be.

what if i choose to NOT have health care as someone in my mid twenties and probably 10x healthier than most americans (i dont drink soda, i dont eat any fast food, i make my own food out of my own ingrediants, not processed premade foods. i dont drink alcohol in excess, and im physically active)
o wait i cant choose to NOT buy a product, otherwise some third party (govt) will impose a fine or tax on me....
whats the difference between a thief stealing your money and a govt taking your money (the fruit of your labor) through threat of violence....NOTHING
