<br>Geez, that sounds like something I would say, to look at what works rather than what's appealing.
Take a look at Tennessee's experience with something akin to single payer, TennCare. I believe they were unable to control the costs. That's an example of why single payer won't work well in the US.
I still think getting rid of most health insurance is the most feasible, equitable and sane way to get costs under control and improve access for everyone. And for the poor, a medical care equivalent of food stamps. The rest of this huge lumbering Rube-Goldbergesque system should be put to sleep. As I said before, no one but the insurance companies will miss it.
