1. So would taxes that pay for universal health care. You could use health care just like anyone else could. That's the point of the word "universal."
2. Currently the Bush administration military is NOT providing me with a service; it is, in fact, making my existence more dangerous. So where do I go to get my refund? Because I sure as hell don't want the "services" that Dubya is providing.

I am willing to pay for such services.

Ah. Now we come to the real crux of your problem. Some services you are willing to pay for, others you are not.
Which brings me back to my other comment: why should you be granted an exemption to paying for service XYZ, merely because you don't want to pay for it? What makes you special?
Why is your unwillingness to pay deserving of special consideration? When my unwillingness to pay for Dubya's foreign policy escapades is not deserving of the same consideration?
