Millions in a country of hundreds of millions, we are the 3rd most populated country in the world. We even have an illegal immigrant population higher that most countries have a total population.

Also, when you make big sweeping change to the healthcare system you could effect millions of people who had good/affordable healthcare. This happened after Obamacare passed for example. In 2013, when Obamacare was implemented premiums skyrocketed for many. I experienced that myself at a previous employer.

Personally, I'm a bigger fan of expanding the public options over an attempt to socialize healthcare.

You can thank your Republican party for that.  Since they did whatever they could to stop anything that could possible make Obama look good, even things they wanted they turned down.  At the end of the day, as president you get the glory or the blame but since this is a team sport, if one party does not want to play it makes everything else a compromise.

No... Obamacare was poorly designed from the start and rushed through congress.

Obama made a lot of changes to healthcare in this country, some I like and some just made it difficult for working people to afford healthcare.

In my opinion, if people feel "free" healthcare as the greatest and most important thing a country can provide for its people I can get behind that via some sort of subsidies for those who need them (for legal citizens preferably). But they have to focus on that alone and quit asking for a total welfare state which could never be achieved and kills their platform.
