What are some good ways to finance universal health care?

Care4USA asked:
Public schools and colleges have certainly not killed private schools and colleges, so I don’t think a universal health plan will kill private plans either. And both are in the general public interest since contagious sick people infect others, and all sick working adults cost their companies money by missing work. Personally, I’d like to see taxes on unhealthy fats and sugars to help pay for health care. What are your suggestions?

I am not sure there is a very “good” way. But the only solution that I see is increased taxes on things that cause poor health:
1. Smoking
2. Gasoline
3. Alcohol
