Meaning a European or Canadian style model where everyone pays the same. Statistically it costs less and delivers better outcomes for the society as a whole where it has been tried. As suggested by Bernie Sanders.

I think the most popular program for America would be a universal baseline of care. Nationalized, but minimalist in nature. Some extra benefit programs administered by states, and room leftover for private insurance options.

That is the Australian model you describe and it works brilliantly by world standards. Funded by a small surcharge in income tax and a smaller second charge for those above a higher income point who choose NOT to carry the extra insurance to "go private"@Xuan12
