There's no such thing as "free" insurance. Most people pay thru a plan with their employer, or they pay the insurance provider directly or they pay through taxes, fines, penalties and other accrued monies.
You seem to be making the point if people get insurance, they will use it (gasp!). And worst of all your taxes will pay for the crowd of rabble getting health care. Redux and Merc and I argued this point a few zillion posts back, and I'm not going to re-argue it.
I will say that people don't know what they're talking about when they speak of rationing insurance or "death panels." Insurance is already rationed in a very real way today. Those who lack coverage do not get adequate medical care - sometimes they get none.
When I became seriously ill, I had no one to advocate for me and I had lost my health insurance due to my inability to work. I was quite literally hours from dying when someone interceded for me at the last minute.
Now go count your money and set it against the value of a human being.
