    So why not have it be owned by some kind of non profit organization or handle it like local utilities?

    I only mention it because a lot of what I’ve seen on the topic is people saying the point you made and nothing else. It just seems like we’ve (largely) figured out and implemented a way for the system to work in many places, but only for certain basic needs and not others.

      That doesn’t change anything useful. There are many not for profit health insurance companies in the us - they are no cheaper and don’t have better service than the for profit ones.
