You wouldn't believe how much more Americans already pay in taxes for healthcare than other countries and then having to pay insurance on top of that.

Insurance has allowed the healthcare industry to balloon costs beyond any reasonable limit. Allowing the government to dictate prices instead can only help drive cost of medical care down and make the situation much more affordable for all, even factoring in what we pay now in both taxes and insurance.

Price ceilings cause shortages. It makes more sense for the government to just run it directly.
