But what healthcare plan could feasibly provide for 300,000,000 people? What evidence exists that government is capable of providing quality healthcare for that many people? And what if you want better treatment than is available to the general public? What if you, through your own success, can afford an extremely expensive and possibly experimental treatment that could potentially save your life? Why should you be limited because you're not the national mean?

I hate to repeat what barkingturtle has already said, but is the answer of "it is too hard" an answer we should accept? I don't care how many people are in this country. It is a critical function of our society to be healthy and IMO the government's job of making it work.
I am not against the private industry getting involved and offering a higher level of service if there is a market for that type of healthcare.
I would like to see all the middlemen in the health insurance industry disappear. There is just way too much overhead.
Everyone complains they want the government out of their healthcare. I want the insurance industry out of mine. If my doctor says I need something then I should get it, I don't care if the insurance industry thinks it is experimental or not. They are not my doctor and their opinion is not based on my best interest it is based on their bottom line.
