The private sector isn't running it entirely, per se. There are plenty of restrictions placed upon private health care practices that needlessly increase the cost and difficulty of providing it.

It makes sense to try something else.

Indeed, it does. We can either socialize it all the way, or privatize it all the way. Given that our government is incredibly corrupt and self-serving, whereas our private sector is relatively capable and efficient, it makes sense to go with the private sector option.

Sensibly speaking though, there's probably a way where they BOTH can be available...and let the CONSUMER choose.
Those who want the greatness of the private sector...let them have it, and the others will choose government.
What's so wrong with that?

Because adding government services inherently pushes private businesses out of the market, and makes the remaining one's struggle more.
