I just came across this and it is one of the most blatant pieces of lobbying I have ever seen.
America has never used, or suggested singlepayer, yet this guy claims that it has "always failed" everywhere, using communism and the Berlin wall as analogies.
He does not mention Canada where it has failed to fail for forty years now, nor Denmark, Sweden etc... obviously no other countries or health systems could ever be analogous to America, except its big opposite enemies. Politics is much more important than public health, after all. In fact, health is such a private issue, we should not even talk to each other about it. Only to our doctors, or insurance companies.
