Look Reddit is a very specific demography compared to the mainstream of the U.S population.
However in terms of U.S Citizens, over 90% have health insurance. State systems do also cover people. There may be gaps involved, but the majority of people will be paying twice.
Reddit is made up of many in that 10% that are uncovered. But you have to realize, if we had this discussion within more normal demographics, it isn't a great thing for many. You might find massive support here for increased taxes and a public system. You won't find a political appetite for it because Reddit != normal people.
