But like I said earlier, the costs of emergency care and sunset care for the uninsured is being passed onto those of us who have insurance. (ie. through our employer who pays us less because of it)
Universal Care cuts out the waste and gets it all upfront. In the long run it should be cheaper for us all. And better for society as a whole.

I'd sure like to hear more about how universal care "cuts waste." To paraphrase from another subject, universal care is a system by which everyone tries to get health care at the expense of everyone else.
James T. Kirk also didn't mention the people who were getting taxed out of their houses (according to my guide in Victoria the last time I was there, admittedly quite a few years ago).
Besides, you're getting amazingly high insurance quotes. My FAMILY insurance is around $500/month. You ought to consider increasing your deductible, as well as doing the other options to "configure" it toward catastrophic coverage during your internship.
