I didn't get my view from "chanting demagogues". I'm not an American dude, a national health service is just another part of life for me. I didn't become a socialist through Bernie nor did he shape anything I think (he's also a social democrat, not a socialist). You don't have a legit argument at all to any of this I'm pretty convinced.
Okay cool, you posted another random article. Let's have a look. Oh wow, the number one problem the experts say need fixed is lack of insurance coverage!! I wonder how that issue could be solved for every single person in your country? Oh and look, the other two problems are administrative inefficiency and under-resourced primary care.. things that people for a for profit system accuse a national health service of also!!
Also what about the vast amount of experts who write about the benefits of a national health service? Or are you just cherrypicking?
Btw, your article makes my point too:

More than 27 million people in the United States were uninsured in 2016—nearly a tenth of the population—often because they can’t afford coverage, live in a state that didn’t expand Medicaid, or are undocumented. Those aren’t problems that people in places like the United Kingdom have to worry about.

Wasn't one of your arguments that the poorest and most vulnerable get some sort of coverage in the end? It's just not true!! A LOT of people fall through the cracks through no fault of their own.

In other words, while insurance coverage in general is great, it’s not ideal that different insurance plans cover different treatments and procedures, forcing doctors to spend precious hours coordinating with insurance companies to provide care.

Interesting how countries with a national health service lack this specific problem. And it's one of the biggest problems the "experts" have according to you!
