Why reconstruct the healthcare industry when something like opening up eligibility to Medicare would seem like a better solution to dealing with the uninsured. We also can't assume that people WILL take preventative care or see a primary care physician (do they still exist?) VS a hospital or an urgent care if they have any health issues. I'm insured, but I haven't been to an actual Dr.s office in YEARS, but I have been to the hospital/urgent care several times.
As someone pro-single-party health care I support opening up eligibility to Medicare for all. Rep. Anthony Weiner, NY is in favor of this idea and I'm a fan of him too. But people are even more against that because of the spectre of socialism and death panels.
