I think I've been using these sayings wrong... I've always said " Well it isn't rocket surgery!"

I think I've always said this. I just like it better.

It's actually "cut loose like a deuce" in the Springsteen original and the tags were tongue-in-cheek, but w/e.

It's REVVED up like a deuce! Like a classic car - the deuce coupe. Also mentioned in a beach boys song.

Maybe I'm jaded because I work in healthcare - I try pretty hard to keep myself healthy. Many of my patients do not try at all, and are now very sad, physically sick people that require all sorts of medical help just to live a normal life.

I also have money saved to pay for medical expenses, the insurance that I have has a very high deductable.  That means if there is a medical expense under $8k I pay it out of pocket. That seems reasonable - the health insurance I have is there to cover unexpected costs.  If I go to the doctor, I pay the doctor, not my insurance company, not extra taxes.  If I take an ambulance ride and need a limb reattached it costs me $8k (pretty reasonable) and the insurance company loses the gamble they took when they wrote the policy for me.

I don't want government provided healthcare because when someone who did not prepare for their eventual decline in health (either by being unhealthy or being unlucky) I will have to pay for it (increased taxes) and then my ability to be prepared for my eventual decline in health will be reduced. Why am I the one paying to keep an unhealthy person treated - when I have to keep myself healthy and pay for my own treatment? It seems a little backwards to me.
