I wouldn't mind paying into it if there was some kind of balance.
If we broke healthcare spending down by person a small percentage of the population is probably consuming a huge percentage of healthcare. The average person just goes to the doctor once or twice a year and has a few large surgeries during their lifetime.
I would be ok with that if there was some kind of guarantee for those of us who didn't abuse the system and did our best to manage our own health. If I haven't gone to the doctor for 2 years and I need to wait 3 months to get an appointment that doesn't feel right.

Live healthy, live long, die fast. Live unhealthy, live short, die slow. Throw in accidents and unexpected life events and boom, you can transistion from health to unhealthy quickly.
