No, what I would rather is that there be two options. One socialized health care for those who can't afford private, and another option where you can get quicker and better service if you're willing and able to pay for it.
America already has this. If you are a low income earner you qualify for Medicaid and if you are over the age of 65 or have some sort of disability you qualify for Medicare. Also there are other governmental programs that offer medical services like if you are a veteran or CHIP if you have a child and do not qualify for Medicaid. The people who get destroyed by medical costs are people who choose to be un-insured (about 5% of the population) because they want to opt out and save the money on health insurance. And if something catastrophic happens, well that's why you want to have insurance in the first place.
Pretty much every other "first world" country has figured it out and makes it work. You don't need to make excuses for it. It's OK to admit our system exists because a massive for profit system is built around it. Even if you have health insurance in this country, the doctor doesn't even get the final say on your treatment a lot of the time. The good ole insurance man gets the pleasure of doing that.
And the most ironic part of all of it is a massive portion of the population/parts of the country that are against this would benefit the most from it.
My daughter stayed 4 nights in picu for RSV back when she was 3 yrs old. The bill to our insurance was 20k. We paid the out of pocket max on our policy of 6k. That was 4 years ago. Our insurance based system allows prices to get out of control.
I mean, I think anyone with a brain knows it’s not a left and right issue. It’s a money in politics issue and a capitalist issue.
It never ceases to amaze me when there are dirt poor people (not saying you are one of them) shitting on socialized health care saying "LOOK AT THE LONG WAIT TIMES" and other crap while if they get sick, get cancer, have an emergency, etc and stuff like wait times don't matter because they are fucked. It's either go into massive debt, stay sick/die, or maybe start a gofundme.
But the right doesn't want anything like that. It is inevitably a left/right issue. The liberal strategy has been to try to approximate the results carefully, and it has A) improved things a lot (Medicare for the elderly, Medicaid expansion for the poor, CHIP for kids in families that are struggling but not enough to qualify for Medicaid, regs and incentives for workers, exchanges and subsidies for people not in traditional group markets) and B) met with massive, continuing resistance from the right.
I suspect whatever it is you're putting into "diplomatically" is doing unreasonably heavy lifting there. It should be pretty apparent that the general cultural divide can't be solved with nice words. The fact that there even is a culture war should serve as a very strong indicator of that, and an aspect of that culture war is taking any attempt to extend the olive branch and twist it into the opposite. Remember when Republicans were outraged when Biden criticized die-hard Trump supporters?
