You're right, that's how it should be.
But, the ideological divide between the two parties is so wide that, in my opinion, it's become a matter of 'winning politically' rather than compromising and working for the best interest of Americans.
I think single-payer (essentially Medicare for all) is the way to go, personally. Higher taxes for everyone, but savings in terms of having to purchase private healthcare insurance and pay high deductibles and premiums. If some people want private coverage, they can purchase it at their own cost.
