As a citizen of South Korea, nationalized health insurance is no brainer at all, but it doesn't need to be as expensive as US.

South Korean National Health Insurance Service covers every citizen (not just for elderly, not just for poor) and is 1.5% of South Korean budget. Medicare is 15% of US budget. Medicare may provide better quality, but cost/benefit is unclear to me.
