I think that single payer will more efficiently allocate resources than the current system. I think this based on the fact that the countries that have single payer healthcare manage to produce the same or better health outcomes for a fraction of the cost of the us. Part if the issue is that the incentives in the US today encourage the poorest people to get health care at the most expensive places (emergency rooms), as well as the insane amount of wasted effort coordinating insurance providers, billing people, verifying copay amounts etc.

How do you know that this is not due to government interface, I read somewhere that the non-subsided plastic surgery industry saw less increase in prices for consumers. Bear in mind that waiting times in socialist countries are way longer and also if you don't agree with the treatment that has been decided for there is nowhere to go. If you are looking towards the Swedish model for an example keep in mind that the direction there has been increased privatization.
