Nothing to do with nobility, just a service provided by our society through public funding. Like running water, sewage, roads, police, etc.

Show me âwhat is being proposedâ. Ok thx. Sounds like youâve got a big Single Payer monster boogeyman in your head. Medicare for all isnt going to close all of the insurance companies. The government isnt going to shut down private insurance. Thatâs absurd. Even in Canada private insurance accounts for roughly 30% of health care spending
And education? Yeah thatâs going swell.
You made the claim about whatâs being proposed. Own it.
Thatâs Canada. And the point of âMedicare for allâ is to eliminate private insurance. Hence the name, genius.
Basically every other country eh universal healthcare has private providers and insurance carriers. We donât have to reinvent the wheel.
And you claimed otherwise. Clearly you canât back it up. 
No we donât have to but I havenât seen anything in the works that follows their models. The closest we have is âMedicare for all.â which so far wouldnât be remotely the same.
No itâs not and you have no idea what you are talking about. And no â â â â thatâs CANADA. They have a single payer system and also a private system. The US can too if they so choose. They can have medicare for all or whatever you call it, while also letting people get gap coverage through private companies
The same way they negotiate in the UK, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Finland, etc., etc., etc. Good lordâŚ

I never claimed anyone proposed anything. I simply said Single Payer doesnt require the elimination of private insurance. You should get some sleep you are really struggling here.
Thatâs a lot of blind Faith to be putting in the US government. Controlled by lobbyists. For the private insurance industry.
Let me guess. If a couple of Senators said they saw pigs fly, youâd believe that too. 
Do you want to shut down medicare?
Show us where âMedicare for allâ gets rid of all private insurance rather than making it where anyone can apply for Medicare.

Iâm surprised that people donât realize this, but a lot donât.
The VA is an example of socialized medicine, where the government literally owns the hospitals, hires the staff, hires the doctors, and then gives away the service for essentially nothing.
medicare is an example of a single payer system, where the government does not own any of the health care components, but instead refers clients to private health care providers, then pays those providers on behalf of their client.
Thats not true. Doctors and hospitals negotiate with MC all the time.
Sounds like some of you have no idea what youâre talking about. Color me shocked.
