Medicare/Medicaid is almost kind a like a Government health insurance plan, I think.

As you are WELL aware. Most politicians are lawyers. Tort reform would be slitting their own bellies.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,[an idea to be discussed at length later]

Medicare is health care, the VA is health care. Medicaid is WELFARE used to pay medical bills. All 3 ARE bankrupt. All 3 cost many, many times their original estimates. All 3 are unsustainable as presently funded and/or structured.
Are they the Government health insurance plans you are applauding? And how is that logical?
One other FACT,
Medicare, VA, and Medicaid CANNOT exist, standing alone. They presently provide good health care, ONLY, because they are parasites on the PRIVATE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. Take away the support of the, FOR PROFIT, private health care system and all 3 would collapse.
