Supplements are explicitly not considered "health care" in the US
Countries with single payer also offer eye drops, family doctor visits, and LASIK... they just tend to pay less for them
You don't need "government force" to change how health insurance works. See Germany, many other countries. All you do is create a government healthcare pool that's large enough to cover risk, fund it, and give folks the option of using it or using a private insurer that will cost a lot more.
The U.S. consumer loan industry is basically backed by the national government. Nobody was shut down or arrested. But it doesn't make it an appropriate action for the government to take.
Especially since in the U.S., major changes are supposed to go through strict democratic processes that require broad consensus. Beyond good democracy, that's just human decency.
That's why I think there should be a healthcare constitutional amendment before the U.S. government gets involved. If California wants single-payer, they should go for it though.
