2) Americans WANT more people on private insurance not less. The support for the idea of "medicare for all" starts to fall apart as soon as the concept is described as universal healthcare. There is more support for having employers provide insurance than the state providing insurance for all. It's America's "rugged individualism" that repulses people to the idea of everyone having the same coverage and sharing the cost.
