This always runs into strong resistance by the section of labor force who do get good health insurance coverage by their employers as theyre afraid to lose it.

Which sort of doesn't make sense. The companies that provide insurance would likely continue to provide supplemental policies on top of whatever the government sponsored healthcare would be. The only way that there'd be a difference between companies that provided health insurance vs companies that provide supplemental policies:

- The cost of government provided healthcare does not match dollar for dollar or below private health insurance

- There is no value add from a supplemental policy
