Against.
As two persons already so succinctly listed their reasons, which coincide closely with mine, I will combine their lists:
- It will increase our deficit FALSE
- It is immoral OPINION
- It is not the government's place to issue health insurance OPINION
- It will lead to the stifling of free market health care TRUE
- I don't want to see tax increases to pay for it FAIR ENOUGH
- I do not believe it to be Constitutional TRUE
- It costs too much
- It will raise healthcare costs to the individual
- It does nothing to restrain the growth of healthcare costs
Furthermore, I believe there are other measures which can be taken, not necessarily by the government, to reduce the costs of healthcare.

I don't want Joe the plumber as my doctor.
There are some government programs, such as medicaid, to provide for this. Medicaid in particular has many, many flaws which can make things difficult.
EDIT:
I should elaborate a bit more for clarity, Medicaid does not cover all the unemployed or low income. Generally, there are other requirements to be in the program that vary from state to state.
The US currently has no nationalized health care blanket for ALL unemployed or low income people- as it should be.
And you don't see a problem with that? :roll:See, that's the common misconception about this. People think that all the doctors will magically change into someone less qualified. But, its likely that the govt run plan will force very many potential doctors to choose a different profession.
