That way if you bought ANYTHING you would be paying for your premiums no matter how poor you were.

If we pay the government who then pays for every ones health "coverage". The quality of medicine goes down because health care becomes underpaid and budgeted by the government, which only weakens the possibility of new medical advancements because those providing us with health care (doctors, Drug Companies, ect.) no longer have the money to invest in medical advancement.
