That's nothing, my Aunt has dual citizenship in the US and Canada... she falls under Canada's "socialized" medical coverage (the same thing that you're talking about if our government were to institute a health care program).
She was diagnosed with a situation that would kill her (the name escapes me) if she didn't have a certain surgery within the year. Then they wanted to schedule the surgery for 9 months away. She flew to Texas where we are originally from and paid to have the surgery herself a month later. The moral: no, the government won't kill you directly, but be careful not to choke on the red tape.
