now that they took over our healthcare system

Except that Aetna or any of the insurance providers haven't been nationalized.

it's taxpayer funded

It's been de facto taxpayer funded since the 1940s via deductions on health insurance benefits from employers. If you seriously want the government out of healthcare, then you need to pay income taxes on your healthcare benefit as you would for any other benefit provided by your employer. In turn, you'd have to eliminate Medicaid and Medicare, and I've question the ability of most Americans to pay for full cost of their elderly family member's healthcare.

Arguably, the implicit problem is the effect on the economy on a macro and micro scale when somebody ends up in an ER with a heart attack or stroke, or the perpetual motion machine of medications needed for hypertension.
