Single payer countries are the major industrialized societies of the world in which health care is delivered at a fraction - a fraction -  of what we pay...a fraction!  Have you seen our health care rates?  Have you seen comparisons of outcomes? The health outcomes are far superior in all of these countries to those  of the US.  This does not result from " poor quality" and "limited care." The World Health Organization has ranked the US 35th or so  below some Eastern European country based upon  our comparable health care outcomes. In other words, we pay a lot for poor results and the third party, the insurance industry, collects  significant profits.  This system is lousy and stupid.  This not anecdotal stuff.  Other countries with single payer systems have long served, and continue to serve, as prime examples of superior health systems to this mess we have..  These are examples are not trivia, not anecdotal and must be examined. You haven't done that. I urge you take a real look.
