I have heard versions of this statement many times. But the people when questioned do not want to get rid of medicare for seniors. One sixth of the population already has socialised medicine.

Because it's too entrenched in the system and they've been paying for it their entire lives. Fans of socialized medicine point to this and try to claim victory while conveniently forgetting none of these people ever had a choice.

The bottom line on single payer is that we can't afford it. I realize this board tends to ignore facts it doesn't like and just repeats a desire for a thing, but the math here doesn't pencil out.
