You're focused on the sparse exceptions, i agree there should be carveouts. I'm talking in the wide, vast, main.

  In the wide, vast, main, we're still better off with single-payer healthcare.

    As someone who has lived in single payer single provider. I couldn't disagree more. Nearly every Canadian I know grumbles about the healthcare system. The patients, the workers...

      Something can be well worth grumbling about, and still be better than other systems elsewhere. There's plenty of actual data on this. Relying on what "nearly every Canadian you know grumbles about" when the topic is "are single-payer systems, on average, better than the clusterfuck the US has", isn't sound reasoning.

        It also has a values based bent to it. Things like: 1. We value the average outcome more than the outcome the (tax)payer receives 2. We value equality of outcomes, a rich person cannot pay more to get more 3. We fix the amount we'll spend and then prioritize the sickest person. You may not get any help until you're the sickest person. Personally, those 3 violate my values.
