Then we have nothing to worry about. They stop paying tons for their insurance, and pay a bit to the government.

You're not your own doctor, and the doctors that would be under universal healthcare would be the same doctors that are paid via insurance and copay now. They don't import universal doctors. Unless you're saying you are your own doctor. Is that what you mean when you say you can take care of yourself?
