A lot of people already get insurance through their employer and those people don't want to pay the higher taxes needed for a single payer system. It's "I've got mine, fuck you".

You rang?

Actually, my fear is not taxes. It's losing the type of plan I now get through my employer. Give me another plan as good as this one or better and I would not mind paying taxes to fund it. Good luck with that, right?

Who do you trust more, politician or your employer? Sorry dude, I trust myself more with my healthcare than I'd trust any politician with my healthcare and trying to argue with me to convince me otherwise would a loosing argument and complete waste of your time. Good luck with that, as you say. IMO, government has a tall hill to climb to reestablish its trust with the American people.

I have coverage though Minnesota Medical Assistance, I have never had a problem with "the government" doing my healthcare. I trust the state of Minnesota far more than I trust any insurance company.

This whole notion that FOR-PROFIT companies would put your interests at heart more than your own elected government is insane.
