Canada's tax rates aren't that different to the US and it has universal coverage, plus the US spends a lot more per capita on health than Canada and European countries.

Odd reasoning, that, that it will somehow cost even more. It's already being paid for. Every penny. By us.
Seriously, do people think it's going to get more expensive because somehow or other hospitals which are providing all this healthcare for free will finally start getting paid? What a thought.

No. They are already getting paid. We pay for it. All of it. Always have.

The problem which single-payor or regulation has to solve is that the present system is run by people who take a 20% rakeoff every time money changes hands, so that by the time our money reaches the doctors and nurses half of has been taken by middlemen with their hands in the till up to their armpits.
