I think a lot of people think we can eliminate a lot of things, but cannot properly pick the things to eliminate. I think there is a lot of bullshit we hate to do, that is still necessary; or alternately, we can't eliminate it due to some sort of momentum or systemic reliance on that bullshit. In healthcare, I imagine there is a lot of bullshit that would still have momentum in a post-single-payer world that we couldn't eliminate right away, but I still want that. See my other recent comment, I went into more detail on why I think single-payer would be great, but isn't a panacea for healthcare costs and efficiency.
