Getting treated "for free" is a myth, only people that get treated for free are the poor, who won't buy insurance anyway, they will get free hookups from the government... which we will all pay for anyway, so it's not clear at all how this setup benefits anyone except the insurance companies...

if healthcare costs $1 trillion for the US now, it will cost $1 trillion (or more) after people buy insurance, costs will not magically go down, it's not possible for combined costs to go down because there is a 3rd party (insurance companies) that will take bigger chunk of the $1 trillion industry... so the costs have to go up... the only detail that is changing is who will pay for these healthcare costs..
