I am willing (desiring, even) for my money to go toward building a social safety net. Right now my inflated premiums aren't doing that. I would much rather pay taxes as a hedge against the fear of lack or loss of coverage that I have now. (Especially since my ability to hedge with savings has been completely obliterated by the continued spiral of cost increases for medical goods and services.) I also think single-payer is our best shot at getting spiraling costs under control.
