@vatsmith8759 Large countries tend to have major issues due to either size of population or land area to cover, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, India all have a mixture of mostly for profit like in the USA but also some government involvement like government run facilities in some key cities in China and Malaysia but most care is done by private for profit medical clinics and doctors. Russia and Brazil both have universal care but due to quality and government spending limitations many use private for profit facilities instead. The Biden's plan is to copy the system from Indonesia where the government offers their own insurance plans and provides discounts or subsidies when needed. The current plan that Obama created is using private insurance companies to be the middle man which has lead to very high prices. Obama also placed a fine on anyone without healthcare so many got stuck, expensive healthcare or expensive fine for not having healthcare. Trump cancelled the fine and Biden said he will not return the fine but millions are still without any insurance. Another issue is that care facilities in the USA are not allowed to decline a person if they cannot pay so a lot of service is given without any payment which raises the price for everyone else. The USA cannot switch to universal care as the system is around 20% of the GDP which far too large to nationalize without triggering major financial chaos. A government cannot nationalize 20% of the economy it is as simple as that.
