No... Hey, if you don't want to buy health insurance fine but... Don't show up at a hospital when you are sick or hurt to drive up the cost for everyone else.

  Single payer probably looks good on paper, but I would never trust someone with that much money and power.

    The US spends more, not only per capita but as a share of GDP, public funds on healthcare than some OECD countries that have single payer with generally similar outcomes. So you (in the general sense) are already trusting the government with (or at least, not preventing the government from spending, whether you trust them or not) the money to provide single payer -- you are just doing it in a system which requires an even greater amount in private expenditures on top of those public expenditures to provide a similar overall quality of care.
