Say you currently pay $10K for healthcare premiums. Say your tax goes up $7K to pay for universal coverage. Yes you pay $7K more tax but you also save $10K premium. Why are you worse off? Seems to me that a saving is a saving and if it also means that 45M fellow citizens can now receive care as well, where is the victim?

You are using faulty logic here. You are assuming that the government can do something more efficiently and more cheaply that the private sector can. What evidence can you site to support this opinion? In my experience, it has been exactly the opposite - give it to the government if you want it to be over budget and inneffiecient. So, IMHO, if the Obama health care plan goes through, we will pay more for health insurance premiums (via taxes) and get a much lower quality of health care than we do now. That means that I am worse off and the victims are everyone who pays taxes.

There is very good evidence that translating the Canadian system to the US would yield $1T savings. Yes, a trillion.

Please provide a link to such evidence. If this is just your opinion, it hardly qualifies as evidence <s>. The Congressional Budget Office happens to disagree strongly with your evidence.
