The only detail is who is going to pay.
Since Americans pay twice as much as other nations for healthcare, the real question is: What are you going to do with all of the extra money?

Well right now I have a $500.00 yearly deductable and pay $20.00 a month. If they mess with it, I will likely spend more money.
I pay nothing.

Would it work here or do we have too many sick old fogies like myself?
It works everywhere else in the civilized world. It even works in Cuba.
(One of the things we're doing is welcoming a lot of new immigrants to pay the taxes.)

But isn't there something included the taxes?
Of course healthcare is paid for by taxes. But there's no direct connection between the healthcare and the payment. You can pay taxes your whole life and never need the healthcare, or you can receive the healthcare without ever having paid taxes.
