The current state of healthcare in the US is a joke.

I'm not lost. I know that nationalizing healthcare will not lower costs or improve the quality of care for the individuals who are currently funding the system.

I would have to cope with a lower quality of care and higher cost under your "utopian" idealistic plan. It would hardly be " utopian for me to receive lower quality at an increased price.

you would have the same care at a lower cost, something I'm missing?

Yes, the federal government's inefficiency at managing national social programs, as well as fraud being more prevalent in programs that the federal government controls. The cost would not go down.

If you take the same or less money, but extend care to all, you cannot maintain the same benefits. It's not economically feasible in real life.
