Best is as Best Does...
I've said this elsewhere, but it deserves repeating... we all expect government to f- it up. If government f-'s up the roads, I'm stuck in traffic jams for the next 10 years. If government f-'s up health care, I die.
Me? I'm counting on the boomers' legendary narcissism and shrieking lack of spirituality to fund us all to immortality. Obamacare is going to get in the way of that, either through taxation or the oozing amber of government regulation. You only disagree with me because you think most of these people shouldn't be alive anyway.

One thing worth mentioning is that those of us who've experienced government run healthcare really would rather go to a private institution. I speak of those of us who've been in the military. We know that it can be good at some institutions - but horrid at others. Hell, as a young child with a broken leg, I ended up undergoing an extra surgery simply because of an incompetent doctor. Lines are long, treatment is spotty, and directives are handed down from on high with no regards to the patient's well-being.
Before someone attempts to point out some other country's healthcare and the phenomenal results they see, get real. We're simply not talking about another government. We're talking about ours. Address your points to that and the experience of those who've dealt with it.
