So, we are not building new hospitals, not creating new ICU beds, not investing into more medical programs at universities (or making them more affordable), not cracking down on opaque pricing and exponentially growing hospital administration. Instead we are introducing another bureaucratic layer to manage access to an extremely limited resource that has not been keeping up with the increasing population. What could possibly go wrong? /s

This would not be creating another bureaucratic layer. It would be replacing the portion of the system that is currently a private bureaucratic layer (insurance companies), and replacing it by expanding (and modifying) the existing governmental bureaucratic layer. If you don't like the switch from private bureaucrats to public bureaucrats then please state that and make your argument why. Don't pretend the private ones don't exist.
