Is $2000 in Tax Forced Insurance Cheaper than $8000 in Insurance?

From a post a friend shared on Facebook:

All it takes to get Universal Healthcare,
is convincing Americans that paying
$2000 in taxes is better than paying
$8000 in Health Insurance.

It literally boils down to enough
Americans understanding that the
number 2 is smaller than the number 8.

Every other country has
already figured this out.

Me: 

If a used car salesman brings me this kind of talk, I'm not looking for the fine print.

I'm looking for the exit.

Also me: 

This is how insurance companies have succeeded in forcing indefensible intrusion into ordinary citizens' daily lives, essentially doing an end-run around Constitutional law. 

This is how the government gets into your bedroom for real.

And, finally, me:

But -- This is also what happens when a free people can't take care of each other, can't take care of their own, without some authority figure telling them who, when, what, how, where, and why.
