true but that doesn’t make it right when people are running these states are paid by the same people who benefit from the current system…

The people in those states do not want it, which is why state single payer referenda fail.

Romneycare and the ACA were a pretty big step in the single payer direction. Popular enough to overcome vetos and attempts to roll them back.

I like the ACA. I think the Swiss system makes a lot of sense. Community rating, guaranteed issue, mandate, subsidy, then universal single payer at retirement, where costs are concentrated. It's a sane system. The problem isn't the system structure.
