Is anyone able to articulate a convincing argument against a single payer US health care system?

@MasterLee You know, in pretty much every country where a national health service exists, private alternatives also exist for those who wish for it. And besides, a national health service is very much on record as typically improving national health in every country one is set up, because it means that everyone on public healthcare is treated equally, rather than some being neglected due to less expensive insurance.

@Gauntlets28 yes, I have friends who live in Europe and I've heard the stories about how they're sent home the day after having half their intestines removed. Naturally they go back because they get infected, don't know how to handle a colostomy, have a stroke or heart attack. We are used to much better care here in the US and that will not go over at all. At least when something goes wrong here its almost always the fault of a noncompliant patient.
