Medicare and medicaid are not the same. I have medicare and love it, combined with a supplement my health care costs almost nothing and I have never had a doc refuse medicare. Medicaid reimbursement is far less than medicare so many medicaid patients have problems even finding a doc who will see them.

How about a more sensible solution? You determine what you want your taxes to fund, probably ware, war and more war.

Someone else will want their taxes NOT to fund war, so they will fund the healthcare, education, EPA, FDA, infrastructure and all the other stuff that you will still use, even though your tax money will only fund war.

And, I guess, those of us who are funding everything else will benefit from your taxes funding war, although I really don't see how that would work.

Under Obamacare, a lot of people pay more for health plan with high deductible, similar plan that they had before, except with higher premium and higher deductible.

The price of premiums on the HC exchange, with the same coverage, hasn't risen any more than non-exchange premiums. Nobody is forcing you to use the exchange. You can call up Oxford or Etna or other companies and buy policies on your own. The advantage of using the exchange is that those within 400% of the poverty level are eligible for subsidies.
