If you don't then you are still just raising taxes.
Keep in mind I don't think some types of increased privatization of Health Care is a necessarily a bad thing, but I don't think it solves anything to do with our budget problems.

The public option will still be there. Only those who can afford the private option will use it. Less people using the public option will decrease in the funding needed. Less doctors, less beds, less money paid out, less fraud.
This should allow less taxes assuming the government doesn't spend the savings elsewhere.
Health care is the biggest expense for any government, not looking at ways to cut it, is foolish.
