Curious. Given the high cost of health care and the resulting high cost
of health insurance by private underwriters, what is it about a single
payer system that you don't like?

A single payer system could provide basic, affordable health care for
everyone. If you want "extra" care for things it doesn't cover, you
could buy a private, supplemental policy.

If a single payer system wouldn't increase the size of the government, and if laws were passed to
discourage frivolous lawsuits, and if supplemental policies didn't cost as much as a full-coverage
policy now, then, maybe, I could go along with a single payer system. Right now when I think 'single
payer', I think more welfare, bigger government, just as many frivolous lawsuits, and more votes for
liberals.
