It's probably too late for that idea to pan out. We already have that and it's a (overly expensive) mess. Some blame the gov't and regulations but I place the blame at the market[0]. Healthcare (and the military) is the biggest racket going on today for sure. I mean racket in the traditional term, gov't and private market collusion. Since the elderly and lower classes already have no-charge healthcare, we're already one foot in. May as well just expand Medicare for all to single-payer to those of us who work for a living. I think we need nationalized insurance and private market medicine. Nothing will be perfect but we can definitely do better.
