Yeah well, I don't know what the Democrats are cooking out either. It's a bit different everywhere, e.g. quite chaotic in my country, and all the different approaches have different advantages and disadvantages. I feel the US is more at the point of debating the principle than going into the details.
I just can add this, it's good for a society when everyone's basic medical needs are covered. No one (well, hardly anyone) needs to die here because he is poor. That's just nice.

These are medical issues...? Let's say, basic coverage could be a bad tooth is getting pulled out, additional private insurance (or money) can have you get a bridge or a pivot tooth or an implant instead.

But sure, if a tooth needs medical attention, that sure would fall under basic coverage. With eyes, I wouldn't know. I for one still have to pay for my glasses on my own.
