The real reason single payer insurance schemes and government run medicine will never catch on in America is that we live in a society that loves litigation.
Americans are 10 times more likely to sue for malpractice than people in Britain.
In Japan, the legal system makes it too expensive to take a doctor or hospital to court for malpractice and the average time to take a suit to trial there is 3 years.
In Sweden malpractice suits have caps on patient compensation and apparently they have some of the worst doctors in the free world as a result of their healthcare system. It turns out that in New Zealand patients don't actually have the right to sue for malpractice and only 40% of the people who try to sue for damages manage to wade through the legal system to be compensated at all...
A single payer healthcare system in America would collapse under the weight of the malpractice lawsuits. If the Unaffordable Care Act is supposed to be a step towards a single payer system, then it's best to get rid of it sooner, rather than later.
Only a complete moron loses their home over a surgery.
