The current employer-based insurance is a perverse system, caused by government policies that began in WW2. The result is “lock-in” when people can’t keep their insurance when they change jobs. I certainly do not approve of that aspect of our current system.
However, the answer is not to turn the government into a giant monopoly insurance company. That would make matters worse. A genuine free market for health insurance and health services would move us in a much healthier direction.
