You don't want universal healthcare but you agree that tying health insurance to a private company is awful.
So what's your hangup? You don't want your taxes to go up? If so, I can assure you it won't be $12000/year.
I want health insurance from a private company of MY choice. I don't want to choose my job based on what health insurance they provide. Right now nobody reports to me - there is no incentive anywhere for me.
So that still doesn't tell me why you don't want universal healthcare...
Because I believe in the free market. But what we means I'm not actually in the market and so the free market isn't serving me.
