I think it would be great if we can get it.
and I been supporting it for years
If you take a look at other countries, it work great and is cheap too
anyways the reason why it would never happen is:
1. you talking about getting rid of many healthcare insurance company (blue cross blue shield, humana, aetna, united, etc..)
2. getting rid of many administration job ( since there only one provider many people will lose their job)
those are the two reason, why i think the single payer will never happen
people don't want to lose their profit and jobs
they going lobby hard to keep what they have

what i mean by administration job
when you finish getting care
the hospital will try to bill the insurance
they will both go back and forth to settle a reason price
since it is a single payer, people will just pay flat rate
there will be no negotiation
and many other's administration job

A dem president would have to declare national emergency.

unitedhealth group make $15 billion in profit in 2017
this is freakin huggeeeee
this also means, they are not paying the hospital
and lots of out of pocket care
they have about 270,000 employee
mostly administration type job
you are looking to get rid of all those people
since everything will be standardized

Single payer system will happen when artificial intelligence and machine learning makes it possible to manage the administration better.

You act like health insurance is a crime. God forbid they make a profit! Everybody should be hanging by a thread only!
It's only a crime because the government got involved.

The democrats are pushing for it, but no one has a good foundation of how to go forth with it. Also Trump is trying to dismantle the ACA which will eliminate families with pre-existed conditions. Even worst. Good luck to single payer healthcare... it will not happen just because america has too much pride on working hard and not taking any handouts..thos e ideas...
