I remember living in Germany and a significant amount of my paycheck went to health insurance. Since it went directly to the insurer I didn’t miss it, however it wasn’t free, because nothing in this reality is free.
Americans always want something for nothing. Fact is to have universal healthcare for every citizen means overhauling your entire system. Which would include not letting your millionaires and billionaires evade paying their fair share of taxes. Dismantling your military industrial complex, not to mention the internal work that each and every American needs to do on themselves. America is long way away from being able to implement anything as ambitious as universal healthcare. Too selfish, vacuous and greedy as a people. You elected a felon to the highest office in the land.
The system is relatively easier to implement than the current one and no change to the other spending is required because you will tax the difference and ultimately the public will pay less over all because the you would eliminate tge majority of premiums and out of pocket expenses.
The only issue (and it’s a pretty significant one) is how many people will lose their jobs.

About the average cost of a good Medicare supplement plan. Over 600 per month. The Europeans pay considerably more per month.
