Please, please, just: no.
I have some background studying Russian (including Soviet) history (a semester class on Stalin, other reading, etc); we can observe what is happening to Venezuela, and many other cases where it sounded good, to someone, to make things better by more government control. I have experience dealing with Medicare (USA) (details at http://lukecall.net/e-9223372036854586100.html http://lukecall.net/e-9223372036854586100.html ). And (I hope) some grasp of the underlying principles involved of freedom vs. control, allowing mistakes vs. severely stifling everyone.
All of which most strongly persuade me that nationalizing more health-related things is a really bad idea. It prevents us from doing more good otherwise, in the private sector.
Edit: One interesting positive is civica rx, a nonprofit that is a great start, for example. (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=civica+rx&ia=web https://duckduckgo.com/?q=civica+rx&ia=web https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civica_Rx https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civica_Rx ).
Other laws could be appropriate, but only very thoughtfully, with foundational principles of liberty in mind.
