The US has one of the most expensive health care systems in the world. Most countries with single-payer systems are spend far less money on them.
Citizens of many of the countries that have national health care also supplement with personal insurance. It probably takes a combination of the two.
What we get for our more, more, always more money for health care is so much worse that it's fair to say we have the worst health care system of all the large, rich countries.
Totally agree.. The price paid into the current system is way out of proportion to the outcome. Its a web of conflict of interests. I percive the change towards this black hole was the emergence of HMO's in the 80's.

It's more than likely they'll move to just repealing at this point, and when that happens you can believe the good and wonderful insurance lobby will be there waiting to craft a new "better" bill to "fix the system."
Edit: I tend to be on the conservative end of the moderate scale, I am not against a system like that in the UK, I'm just scared of the price to pay to get it. For me, it all comes down to the costs and taxes that I don't want to pay. What most people think with single payer though is Canada I believe where it's not a partnership of public and private insurance options but just a public option. Unless I read that wrong.
They really think any shit they throw at us will stick.
I'm so sick of seeing those ugly,arrogant,double chinned old fat men throwing their weight and feces around like they own all of America and can do whatever they please.
As expected. Trump still sitting on virtually 0 wins.
I guess we’re not counting stopping the TPP, whose death knell for the American republic was President Obama’s self-proclaimed “highest priority” for years. The man’s a mass of personality disorders and a pathological liar, but at least we can be honest.
