These are usually the same people that complain that taxes are to high and the government doesn't do enough for them.

I kind of disagree with this. The idea is not to "give" everyone heath care. The goal is to make health care affordable and available to everyone.
I do think to much emfasis though has been on the "public option" and "government takeover" and on insurance... rather than on solving the root problem of the cost of health care. And not the answer isn't tort refom... we have that in Florida and my heath insurance and other costs has still gone up each year.
