So, poorly trained medical staff giving error-frequent care would be the resulting system, after the older doctors and medical pros retire, leaving no recourse to increasing the quality of healthcare in a gov't run system. As it is, the past and current 2-party lunacy can't govern its way out of a wet paper sack. Then, we'd have ambulance chasing attorneys, with their strong big pharma influences lobbying against it and wining in the political arena to save their cash cows. That's their chief source of victim-mongering and that lobby would sue the government as the new outlaw knowing that the right to a trial, much less a speedy one or even arbitration, would be good as gone for system-victimized patients with real or even attorney-fabricated conditions. Finally, the shortage of good doctors and staff would be faced with patients lined up outside the doors for their share of the freebies for every little thing mama panics over.
The system, once matured as such, would impose policies where life-threatening issues get immediate care and the rest of the ailments go back to the 2-aspirin days. This would be the new "right" to free healthcare. Come to think of it, perhaps this is where we need to go. It would certainly get the blood thirsty litigation burden on insurance coverage pushed way back.
Okay, I talked myself into the "right" to free medical care.

Fundamentally mistaken and flawed premise
this 2014 report categorically disproves most if not all of your statement.
The US system in fact costs more for less overall quality of care than other systems
