    Why? Single payer is better, and cheaper.

    How does switching to a less expensive system than our current one multiply the deficit? That doesn’t make any sense.

    Thinking government can do manage health insurance more efficiently than the private sector is naive. Look at the USPS, UPS, and Federal Express. The private sector always outperforms the public sector.

    Medicare will run huge deficits and taxpayers will get hammered. Current Medicare expenses are 100x what they predicted when the program began in 1965. It'll be a cluster and there will be rationing. If you're over 65 and you get cancer, they'll give you some aspirin and tell you to go home and be comfortable.

    But we know that every single first world nation with single payer gets better care for a fraction of what we pay.

    Single payer is CHEAPER than our current system. We would save tens of billions per year.

    Can you name a single modern economy that the government has collapsed due to national healthcare.

    I’m pretty sure we are the only first world nation without one which is why we pay more and get less.

    They can't counter your argument with facts and logic, so you can expect condescending responses that are in no way relevant. They will discard a pragmatic agenda in favor of the pot of gold at the end of Trump's rainbow.

    Better than everyone having catastrophic only plans? Good luck demonstrating that.

    Still haven't defined "better". Not surprised.

    I’ve already demonstrated that.
    If you don’t know what better means, you have no business debating any topic on this forum.

    In order to quantify it, lol, you have to define it in a measurable way, lol, then measure it, lol.

    Brilliant.

    Except you forgot that someone has to be paid to provide healthcare services, it they won't do it.

    Unfortunately that power vacuum will give way to a lot of unpredictable outcomes.

    What we have now sucks, so almost any change would be positive.
