Essentially all Swiss citizens have medical insurance simply because it is mandatory, under pain of fines and prison.

If medical insurance were mandatory in America, or some other nation, the percentage of those insured would be nearly universal depending upon the penalties.

Universal medical coverage lowers the cost of insurance dramatically because the insured are not paying for the uninsured.

Your suggestion that universal coverage is only possible with a smaller population, is an assertion without any logical basis and also quite amusing.
