Because we will have "private hospitals" and the best doctors that will only cater to the rich. Imagine a hospital like Cleveland Clinic deciding the new system isn't worth the effort and they go private, serving only those that have private insurance.

It'll end up more negative than the system is already. What is the government going to tell the Cleveland Clinic (and I use it ONLY as an example because it is in my backyard), that they HAVE to care for ANYONE walking in their doors? If that's the case, the very good hospitals are going to be very overwhelmed and unable by sheer volume unable to keep the service they are known for.

The disparity will grow for that reason. It will have no choice but to.
