It would save loads of money. Health insurance companies only pay out about 60% of what they take in. The other 40% is taken up in company overhead. The money saved would be enough to pay the taxes needed nation health care.

It would save the doctors lots of money having to pay staff file with insurance companies.

It would allow people to move jobs or even start their own business, without having to worry about needing to keep their insurance.

It would encourage people to seek medical attention early. Lots of folks will try to tough it out, resulting in a condition getting worse.

And everybody would be covered.
