I am definitely what you would term "right wing", but when it comes to health care, I fail to see a better solution than "universal government health care", whether you adopt a Canadian or a European version. Certainly, there are problems with the system, but I have yet to hear of a better option. I like the option of private care, so that one can pay for an elective service if one chooses to do so, rather than waiting.
Hence my criticism of Obama is not that he is "taking away choice", but that, as with many of his policies, it's a half-assed indecisive mish-mash that didn't go far enough...
