This wouldn't happen in England or Canada or Finland or Germany or Australia or...

Do I want more taxes in order to pay for universal health insurance?
Damn straight, I do. Then I wouldn't be paying the friggin' $350/month for my employer-based health insurance. Then I wouldn't have to wait for Medicare to kick in to retire. Then having health care wouldn't be one of my worries if I lost my job.

Do I want my health care/prescriptions rationed?
Another resounding yes! I don't think I need half the tests or medications given me.

Do I want to be told what doctors/hospitals, etc I can go to?
Already happening.

Too bad we didn't follow England's lead at end of WWII.
Less docs driving Lotus Europas and more people with health care.
