8. Apparently it would just feel better

if they forced you to pay the same amount in taxes and contracted out your healthcare (likely to the insurance companies because they already have the infrastructure to implement it).

Be it this plan, single payer, or any other approach at universal healthcare, you will be required to pay. Some ways of being required to pay are apparently more palatable than others.

Actually, what they did was raise your taxes and then provided a tax credit equal to the tax increase, that you can claim if you carry health insurance.
