From PBS 

The question is not should everyone in America has affordable health care or not (at least not for me) but the question is how should it be paid for and who should run it? Which is the post ObamaCare debate at least: how do we get the best and most affordable health care system. 

Leftists obviously want government running at least the health insurance system, if not entire health care system. Hyper-partisan Republicans, (at least when they're being honest) as well as Libertarians, want to go back to the old system pre-2010, where the private health insurance industry, essentially runs the entire health care system. 

And most Americans are somewhere in-between where we like our private hospitals and choice as far as where we get our health care and health insurance, but we want it to be affordable for everyone. And the real debate with perhaps 3-5 Americans is how best to make our private health care system affordable for everyone.
