Single payer has saved more of my friends and family than I care to count, and it did so at no direct cost to me.

Are there waits for some services? Of course. That's what happens when people don't have to choose between bankruptcy or death.

Besides, the American system isn't free from a tax perspective either. As much public money gets spent on healthcare as many countries with public systems, it's just that then people pay again a second time paying directly for health insurance. Then a third time with copay.
