Counter-point: calling it universal/single-payer distinguishes it from what we have now. Which I would argue isn't actually healthcare, at least by modern standards in other countries...

Yeah, we don't have healthcare. We have profit-motivated health insurance. We pay in case we get injured or sick, and they only profit if they find a legitimate way to not cover us when we get injured or sick, so they try their damnedest to do that.
