Why America Should Ensure Universal Public Health Insurance Coverage

The article says everyone in America should have public health insurance.

It argues that the current private insurance system is difficult to manage.

Private insurance companies receive a very large amount of help from the government.

This help comes through tax subsidies.

The subsidies are worth hundreds of billions of dollars each year.

That means the private system already depends heavily on government money.

Some people prefer private insurance because they support free markets.

However, the article says private insurance would likely collapse without government support.

Because of this, it argues that public coverage for everyone would make more sense.
