Our system, broken in pieces and spread to the wind, is vastly more expensive.  Since people are unlikely to roll over and die on command, a system that is cheaper is better.  Single payer is the lowest cost method ... period.

You seem fixated on making this same incorrect assertion.  Why?  Here it is in graphic form:

Look it is really simple, either we have a private system and you pay with money or you have a public one and you pay with time.  Lets just say if you want cancer treatment the Brits, Frogs and Canucks come to the States.  Their systems are alright for things like head colds and check ups but otherwise you're waiting years for major treatments.  Or do you think all these people who come to get treatment here do so because they want to have a vacation at our many fabulous hospitals.

Also you're still comparing apples to bananas. Every single one of those countries that have a majority public provision of health care has a large mono-culture and is largely homogenous. Only the EU states are working to change that--it will cause them to implode.
