Plenty have been fighting for it, but there’s an uphill battle against “but that’s socialism and socialism is evil!” and those that personally benefit financially who stand in the way.
Oh, I agree it won’t be easy, particularly when taking profits from rich people.
I’ve heard it likened to a house full of asbestos. Knock it all down and there’s likely to be collateral damage, but meticulously taking it apart will take a considerable amount of time. I feel it would be easiest for governments to purchase the insurance companies, then slowly amalgamate so it’s all one network open to everyone.
Also it’s a bit entertaining when someone opposes it because “it’s socialism”. It’s already socialism, you just have middlemen skimming profit off the top while providing little value.
