No. Just no. The ACA was a BIG improvement on how things were. I am certain it was meant as a start to single payer. Regardless of the intention behind it tho' have you perhaps missed all the footage of people at town halls and such, talking about how ACA save their life (or a loved one) and how repealing would cause much misery and death? those people who had big improvements in their lives might disagree that the less then perfect ACA was all talk.

Just because something is NOT perfect, or exactly as YOU would like them doesn't negate their actual value.

induced by the intentional destruction of 18% of our economy any plan to remove the profit motive from health care is also all talk.

They are nothing but middlemen and do not contribute at all to the health of Americans.

But, there could be a place for health insurers that provide private rooms, etc... you know, for the wealthy.

We need a Medicare-for-All healthcare in America.

Both high administration costs, and pressures to increase their overall revenue streams.

Rotten non-profits with grotesquely overpaid directors and lobbyists, palatial offices, etc., are common.

Seize their shares, make owning them illegal, or force the corporations to close, thus making the shares worthless?

Even if government wanted to do so, too many ignorant people ain't going to pay the taxes necessary.

We can reduce the impact of profit motives, but even that will take time. I wish that weren't reality and people could work together for society's benefit vs. their own.

Doctors would be government employees, equipment would be owned by government -- hence no shareholders. Really, it would be fewer shareholders because is government going to become the equipment/supply manufactures, develop drugs, employee everyone, etc.

All 'non-profit' means is that there are no shareholders.

A 'non-profit' that didn't make any profit would have no money for expansion, additional endowments, additional scholarships, and would eventually go out of business.

But I get it, you want to control the means of production-- for health care.
