Sorry but America needs socialist medicine when it comes to healthcare. There will be parts that reject it, but a decent public system that provides catastrophic care and basic preventive care is what we need. Poor people have something called 'time'. For treatments that are elective and non life threatening if not done (e.g. knee replacements) people can wait. People with money can pay more and get new knees quicker.

Single payer, universal care that's free at the point of delivery. Been working well since 1948 in the UK.
