That doesn't make sense at all because the system is already broken.
There is a system already in place that can cover every body in the USA.....Medicare
Overnight the health insurance company will go away.

You're living in never-never land bro.
If you came here to advocate for single payer you're wasting your breath. Even if we all agreed with you that it would be the best thing,
it will not happen this year.
Change happens slowly. If we eventually end up with single payer it will be through attrition. In a scenario where the public plan is superior to the private plans, so most people choose the public plan, and we end up with a defacto single payer plan.
You can't go to the floor of the U.S. Congress right now though, and say we're going to force all Americans to have health insurance through the government and we won't allow any other type of insurance or payment.
You'd be laughed all the way to North Carolina.
