I perceive that Americans are primarily undecided on how it gets paid for. And if that comes from taxpayers directly, or government coffers directly, then the Americans turn on themselves and prefer a Machiavellian paradise, or the exact opposite where taxpayers and government drop helicopter money on the insurers who laugh all the way to the bank.
A smaller but growing group looks at the insurance companies and other structural issues, hoping to alleviate cost pressure, perhaps to make it more practical to subsidize healthcare after the costs are managed.
