You're ignoring by the far biggest downside to state-sponsored healthcare: society now has a strong incentive to ban risky behaviors. If I'm paying for Joe Schmoe's healthcare, why should he be able to give himself liver disease by drinking alcohol or tear his ACL skiing? I don't ski or drink alcohol, so it's no skin off my bone if we ban alcohol and skiing.
If you're a minority in a society with universal healthcare, you will have to constantly fight for your rights. The second the rest of society decides your diet or your hobbies are too dangerous, they'll be pushing to ban you from partaking in them.
Also for #2, most democrats seem to support giving healthcare to illegals so I don't know why you act like that's a myth. And for #1, it's true for tens of millions of people that they will pay more in universal healthcare than they do currently. This is inherently true of all socialism (make no mistake, universal healthcare is socialist healthcare). If somebody is getting something for free, the money to pay for it is coming out of somebody's else pocket.
Your example already occurs, so I don't know why you're conveniently ignoring that fact.
Instead, healthcare companies charge more if you're at risk. They're implementing solutions to discourage bad behaviors. Worse, this is all packaged up in various apps designed to take your data and sell them to others to make even more money off of every single person they rip off.
Don't even get me started on how the insurance industry abused pre-existing conditions as a catch-all term for denying coverage for things that weren't even a result of life style choices. So how is this different from the horror scenario you bring up?
