Reminds me of Fox "News" holding a town hall meeting posing the question to the group of people if they would give up their private employer insurance for a universal coverage; almost all the hands went up. Nobody likes the shit our employers call insurance; first it's not really insurance, it's a money making gimmick marketed as insurance when it's a creepy discount marketing chicanery; only reason to get it is for their "in network" discounts so you don't pay the bogus rip off sticker price but the ridiculous phony prices meant for large hospitals and clinics to and big pharma to pretend the insurance company won benefit to a negotiated price points. And insurance still both doesn't want nor can afford to meet the so called negotiated discount pricing without 50% co-pays, max annual limits (particularly to dental care since that's still legal under ACA), and deductibles that really describe a system that isn't insurance at all, but a gimmick discount program: pay us a huge annual premium ($1,300 to $4,000), and your employer pays even more often 5 times as much ($6,000 to $10,000), but we won't pay anything until you first pay $1,000 up to $3,000.
That's not insurance for the health patient, that's liability auto insurance at best for the hospitals and clinics to get at least some money, but really it's just a gimmick.
No other nation does deductibles. Co-pays yes. You mention deductibles to a Japanese, Australian, German, French, English, Swedish, Danish, etc. they'd think you we're joking and on crack.
