Does Obama wont the government to pay for the health care for all citizens?

The "Obamacare" Act, as far as I can decipher (I'm not a politician or professor so to some extent this is my opinion) gives a government option to healthcare. Essentially the government becomes your health insurance. Just like Medicare/Medicaid pay for benefits, so would the new government health insurance. Furthermore there would be a universal mandate to get health insurance. That means that you have to have health insurance, just like you have to have car insurance. If you don't have health insurance, either private or public, you have to pay a tax.
