Pardon my use of words but I think it is foolish not to accept that there are pretty serious trade-offs involved here and there are perfectly legitimate reasons why single payer is a very bad idea. I personally think a single payer system in USA would pretty much resemble Veterans Affairs. Corrupt, inefficient and something that makes consumers profoundly unhappy while taking away a good chunk of your hard earned wealth.
