The number who are uninsured for reasons other than (a) or (b) above is undoubtedly well below 5% of the population.


You are joking, of course. The number of uninsured and underinsured exceeds the 40 million most often quoted.

The main thing is that you don't throw out the best health care system in the world in an effort to pick up coverage for 5% of the people -- you just fix the problem.

Nobody is suggesting throwing out the "health care system". People are suggesting eliminating the inefficient, bloated and wasteful payment system. I'm not sure how you can say it's the best health care system when it's twice as expensive, doesn't rank on the top in effectiveness, and doesn't cover everyone.
