Health insurers do not deliver a product the consumer needs or wants.
Health care is already out there...it exists. Health insurance adds an

The "huge gov't bureaucracy" has much lower overhead than private
companies.

can't really believe the overhead rate for SS anyway since a
significant part of the "payables" accounting is done by the part B
provider.
The IRS is their accounts receivable department.

And, your alternative is to turn over the care of the elderly to corporate
America? Those lovely people like those at BP, who lied and continue to lie.
I think I'd rather have a bureaucrat and some federal agents on my side.
