Quote:Single payer would be better than this abomination we have now, and single payer with our already bloated economy is a terrible idea.

 

Canada has 1/10th the population size, isn't responsible for being the world police, doesn't have soaring poverty levels, doesn't have a wide-scale decline in labor participation, isn't suffering from major sectors of the economy leaving for other countries, and doesn't have massive trade deficits. There are quite a few reasons why Canada can run with single payer and we, at the moment, cannot.
