Too bad America doesn’t have nationalized health insurance for everyone.

What fraction of America has socialized health care already? Half, more or less? It doesn't seem like a big leap to go all-in.

For anyone else reading, It's only about 36% or so that are covered by socialized health care. E.g. 85M in medicaid, 65M in medicare, 10M in tricare.

So we have a pretty good basis to figure what it would look like to make that number 100%.
