Who says health care should be a private service? That's the nature of the debate. What percentage of Americans, whom the government exists to represent, wish health care to be a public service - - with health care a right of citizenship and not a privilege of wealth?
Naturally there are pros and cons to either option - public or private. Since health is arguably the most important thing in any human's life, coming up with the best possible solution is paramount to any decent society. And trying new things when old systems are deeply flawed seems a prudent thing to do.
