That is the basic premise of insurance. Collectivized risk. That you disagree with a specific detail in the implementation and that part, and that part only is vouching for someone else is undermining your point, not reinforcing it.

No, it isn't. You'd have to define "developed world" here to make your argument more clear, but more importantly you'd have to define insurance in general if the government is stepping in to control those markets.
If we just want healthcare to be covered for the entire population that's fine, but don't call it insurance.
