You seem to think that if the government takes it over the money won’t come out of your pocket. End the end it still does just by other avenues. By what metric to you deem these other systems ‘proven to work’ or this system ‘broken?’

I looked at some numbers not too long ago (which, I’m sure, are googleable)…we pay almost twice as much for health care as our European brethren, but the results are nowhere near twice as good. IIRC, 5 year survivability for coronary disease, as well as cancer, was only a little bit better for us compared to the best of the European plans.
