Basically, it comes down to why do you believe that you have the right to someone else's labor(healthcare) or why do believe you have the right to make someone else pay for your needs?
You have nothing to fear. You are already bankrupt, and those nations that have single payer healthcare (which I didn't think was what your bill proposed, only universal insurance) are generally doing better financially. Linking healthcare to national bankruptcy isn't logical.

Not sure about the right to someone else's labour. Do the shareholders of the HMOs have the right to profit by denying coverage to their customers? Seems that you can spin that one either way.
