You need to do a LOT more research on the subject. What we have now is the same old system based on PROFIT, not on healthcare, and that's the problem no matter how some want to change the subject.
I find it funny that we had this discussion back in 2008 when the Democratic position was that the system was broken and needed to be fixed. Now SOME Democrats are arguing that everything is ok, just needs a tweak or two, when the facts show the opposite.

Support for a public option has been increasing, and for Medicare-for-All has been decreasing
