I want to add in addition to these you could add increase of taxes. Remember this is not about health care it is about control.

1) It has never worked anywhere else.
    A) Why do Canadians and rich people from across the ocean come here for health care?
    B) We already have Government Hospitals - Veterans Hospitals - Ask a Vet about a waiting list and quality of care, etc.

2) Right to privacy will be completely shattered.

3) Huge medical decisions such as procedures, expenses, equipment, etc. will be run by bureaucrats. Refer to Post Office, IRS, Public Schools.

4) It will virtually stop current research and development because the government will need the doctors' profits to run the bureaucracy.

5) It will take the best and brightest minds out of the medical field because of government control that destroys the incentive system.

6) It will force medical providers to do or not to do procedures in order to be a profitable system.

7) Specialized fields will shrink  as profits and investors will no longer look at potential consumers, just need.

8) You will pay for everyone's health choices from drug/alcohol abuse to abortion and sex change operations.

9) People will have to wait in line to be considered for vital care because the market will no longer influence how services are provided.

10) Those considered less "needy or needed" will receive only left over care. The very young, the very old and the very needy. They will pay the ultimate price.

11) Drug companies will be forced to abandon research and development as all profit initiative will be consumed by regulations.

12) The potential for saving money will outweigh the potential of saving lives.

13) Untrained and under trained personnel will eventually be expected to handle procedures previously done by trained medical professionals.

14) Health driven programs focused on  prevention will lose their effectiveness as there will be no benefit to companies to save health dollars.

15) Only the very wealthy will have access to excellent medical care which will be available north and south of our borders which will also result in further job loss.

While some of these statements may seem outrageous not only is there clear historical precedent those precedents are also contemporaneous by the nations that are currently operating in "Socialized Medicine". Please note that as you hear people speak in favor of "Socialized Medicine" the word excellent has been replaced by the word available. While there are some areas in life where one can exist on availability as opposed to excellence (maybe housing maybe transportation), health care is simply not one of them. There is one other thing that must be said "God desires us to be reliant on Him and not on government". It was God Himself who instituted government in men's lives  for protection not provision.

There has never been a National Health Care Program that is equal to free market programs at the same time.

Every national health care program eventually takes on a eugenic type philosophy, because government destroys initiative, productivity and is incapable of compassion.
