I'm glad you are happy that people with high school diplomas working at insurance companies are deciding what medical procedures you and your family should get, instead of the doctors who are trained to make those decisions. Many people are not happy though. I'm sure you are also comfortable that health care costs in America are driving companies out of business or overseas.
Doesn't it bother you just a little that virtually everyone agrees the current system is economically unsustainable? But let's not worry about the future and just "help those without insurance or those who have fallen through the cracks." Oh wait a minute, that's what we're doing! It's just a pretty big crack when nearly 50m Americans have no health insurance.
I think it very unlikely there will be an exclusively government run health care system anytime soon, but we can no longer afford the current system and something must be done. We'll see how it plays out.
