My only real problems with single payer are with those who advocate for it without running the numbers (the numbers were run in Vermont, Colorado, and California) and those who oppose allowing supplemental private plans (which are allowed in most but not all single payer nations).
Show me a single payer plan that provides the access to care that Americans with good employer paid plans are used to, and which reimburses providers at a level which encourages adequate supply, and which makes actuarial sense over the coming decades, and there is a good chance I would get on board.
What I don’t want to see is something like Medicare, or like Obamacare, where income=outgo at the beginning, but is financially not sustainable in the long run.
