Instead of insurance or payer sources, what if the federal government established federal hospitals and clinics open to the public where all services were rendered without expected payment or insurance? What if the Feds also encouraged states to set up their own public hospitals and clinics where essentially every county had a truly public health care system similar to how schools are readily available? Parents don't have school insurance or payer sources when it comes to sending their kids to school?

That would be much better than either ACA or the pending Republican clone. But I really don't want to see government in charge of health care. We have enough to argue about at election time as it is.

What do you mean "instead of payer sources." You need funding somehow? The taxpayers would fund it if the hospital is owned by the federal government. Someone has to pay to turn the lights on, pay for the doctors and other employees, and for malpractice insurance. What you're proposing is essentially a socialist system.

States do have their own hospitals. New York has SUNY Upstate Hospital for example.
