Want and Wish

Hye everyone! Could you please help me in this matter.

Is there any difference between these two:

I mean if i were to say "I want that he would get well"

and "I wish he would get well"

OR i should use "want" as "I want that he gets well"
I actually want to know when we use (want that) like in the sentence above : Do we use the same type of gramatical construction as we use in wish OR we use "I want that HE get well without any "s" after "tell"

please tell me are they same to say.

Thanks!

I mean if i were to say "I want that he would get well" -- You cannot say that. ' I want him to get well. ' and "I wish he would get well" -- OK OR i should use "want" as "I want that he gets well" -- You cannot say that either.
