If the costs are too high, you need a combination of cost controls and increased supply, not more funds to throw into the furnace. You also cut out as much of the admin as possible, as that is very low value spend vs delivering care.

I like taxes, with them I buy civilization. I want my taxes to go up, and my medical premiums to go away. Covering everyone is simply more economically efficient in aggregate vs the current Rube Goldberg system design, where the US spends more on healthcare than every other OECD country for worse outcomes.
