Mind reader, you are

Your sister certainly gets it.  Once you say "minimally higher taxes" to a US audience all the other details and cost savings are blocked out. Unless we can combine a single payer system with free ammunition, it will never fly in the US.

I am one of those people who has lived under other healthcare systems (Germany, Qatar) and gone into shock upon returning to the US, only to pay double for limited piecemeal for coverage doled out through a system of daunting paperwork.

The extra dollars I pay for less go to insure I have "choices"--like between a policy which covers both gall bladder AND appendix surgery or one which covers only gall bladder.

Best we can hope for this side at the border is policy that insures "competitive rates." lol
