I get that this is supposed to reflect the "for profit healthcare industries are fucking you over to make their buck" but the reason every first world nation on the planet has single payer is because it grows your GDP to not have a perpetually ill populace that consumes extremely expensive hospital procedures as last resorts before declaring bankruptcy on a million dollar bill while being prescribed a half dozen drugs they don't need by profiteering big pharma companies being subsidized and given monopolies by a corrupt state.
