Sure, universalized health care may not be perfect. But, the United States, one of the world's wealthiest nations, has a correlation between wealth and the availability of healthcare that is embarassing for an industrialized Western nation. I'm not asking for Mayo-clinic quality checkups for everyone--just the ability to be able to go to the doctor when you're sick! Doesn't everyone have that right? Universalized health care--even if it was just limited to basic health and preventive care (ie, annual exams)--would be a great thing for all Americans. The government overspends on so much stuff--I'd much rather see my tax money go to health care than lining some idiot politician's pockets.
