You are being downvoted by the big government fans who believe that one size fits all health care policy is going to solve all our problems just like the one size fits all education policies have.
They proclaim to treat science with the utmost reverence, but rather than conduct and analyze not even just a few experiments at the state level, they decide to slam together massive programs in a few short years and experiment on 310 million Americans all at once. As if they have all the information and the wisest and most experienced people running things. Things evolve kinda funny in the public sector when you get a new boss every few years with new campaign backers to repay. I'm not sure if there's a single government program that if cut or changed, wouldn't cause some politician to lose an election.
In the private sector, we don't have to worry about that kind of thing. Millions of concurrent experiments take place and thousands of people get fired and get hired everyday, satisfying some need that a government bureaucrat could never predict. Sounds inefficient, but so was the absolute miracle of Evolution. There's always a better way, but to think that your better way is right for everyone? Well that's just plain ol' hubris.
I don't know how many more healthcare.gov's or NSA scandals or failed foreign interventions we need before we say you know what, perhaps we should abandon the "go big or go home" strategy or false dichotomy that our politicians present to us. That mindset is far too rampant in big government without any kind of scientific underpinning.
