Health care? all you have to is come visit a clinic or pharmacy or hospital in Metro Detroit, they are littered with canadian trying to get basic health coverage that your panacea will not provide. Was it Oregon that made a list of prioritized medical treatments, then would say "we'll cover 1-1876 this year." If you need a treatment numbered 1877 you're fucked.
We now provide very good health care for a very high percentage of people. i have no problem extending very basic coverage to al lpeople, I just do not want my coverage lowered as occurs in all single payer systems.
want a story?
Had dinner with a Canadian potential client a few weeks ago, a guy about 30. He had his leg amputated last year to remove a cancerous tumor. This was a professional guy, with a decent income. He had waited months 9up to a yearat one stage) to be seen/evaluated then treated. in the states he's still have his leg.
your little perfect visions are sweet, but anyone who knows reality will avoid single payer health care like anthrax. The only way you can be for single payer health care, if you realize the truth, is to be for true socialism across the board. turn in your Beamer Sam, give the money to a poor family then bring your argument back- until you do this you've no credibility.

Our health care systems often achieves the same results, except that the rationing is done by private actors, not by the government. For some reason, this doesn't bother conservatives, but it does bother a lot of voters.
