Sure, but I’m also jus generally curious why private healthcare needs to go away. Just from a popularity point of view the American healthcare system, a majority minority of people right now say it’s Excellent or Good, and that’s only recently gone down to that number in the last like couple months.
I don’t think for most people it’s about what’s best, but what they are more comfortable with.
It is not about what they might gain for themselves by switching systems, but what they might lose, and I don’t think that anyone has made a declaration that they 100% won’t lose anything in the trade
Like most pipe get private insurance through their employer and it just kinda works for them. So yeah efficiency and outcomes are obviously important, but there is also no political will to change it.
I'm a high-pay worker in a large corporation which pays for very good healthcare for SOME employees. I live in WA where all the options are crap. I got my coverage through the healthcare exchange. It's expensive for no reason, but it's better than the employer-paid option.
That’s fine to say and I bet there are a number of people who find themselves in the same situation, but I would put a decent amount of money on the notion that equal numbers or maybe more people are happy, or at the very least content with their health coverage
I would expect that most people aren't educated enough to have an informed opinion, even as many are unable to afford to use their employer-provided insurance. I've known many myself. Not only that, you don't get good employer-provided care unless you make good money. (I know from experience)

Nobody has yet made a declaration as to what we actually get from private corporations that we can't do with govt agencies.

Anecdotal evidence.
