Well I won’t argue the point that government has a way of ruining things.
Medicine however, is completely 100% something which every American needs.
Everyone.
Having the government involved already, there is nothing wrong with the government saying everyone needs coverage.
If you want to remove government from medicine, you will have a system like most Asian countries for example. I wouldn’t mind that at all.
In America however, the government has become far too involved.
It is corrupting the system, so people can take advantage of Americans to get rich.
That is wrong.
“government has a way of ruining things.

I sounds like you are saying that it is OK for government to intervene (and therefor screw things up), if it is something that everyone needs.
Don’t fall for that socialist manipulation - it is an emotional, rhetorical argument, that does not hold up to logical analysis, and leads to disastrous results if implemented.
The opposite is true - the more essential something is, the more we should protect it from political interference.
Government control is LESS effective in meeting the common needs of individuals.
Food is something that everyone needs more than medicine, so is housing and clothing. If you fall for socialist calls for individual needs becoming the primary responsibility of government (rather than individuals themselves), then agriculture and real estate should be nationalized first (or be brought under fascist-style government control through regulation, which is what the American left is really doing).
