a) we're rich in the US compared to even Norway b) it's better than what we have, private options will always be there, they just won't be the only options with government competition.

No we are not. The US has a much higher GDP per capita than most of Europe, but not Norway.

But a higher overall GDP (per-capita aside) than even Norway right? We're already spending more than any other country on the planet on healthcare.

Look at the table here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_total_hea...

The US is spending 50% more per-capita than Norway already and we are worse off. This doesn't include private insurance money which is insane amounts already.
