When I was unemployed, I didn't have to pay taxes. I wouldn't say "socialized" healthcare took away my choice as a consumer, but rather gave me more choices since I didn't have to budget for insurance, other than renters' insurance and I don't have a car. I was free to purchase things I wouldn't had been able to afford if I was paying for three or four different insurances.
However, as a taxpayer, universal healthcare does restrict how quickly I want to see my care improve since it's dependent on who I vote for, who they appoint as ministers and how I choose to express my dissent.
