Something that doesn’t come up much is that Vermont tried to get single payer and they found out the state couldn’t afford it. So if a relatively rich state can’t afford it, what makes them think the United States can afford it with 20 trillion in debt?????? Idiots.

The United States pays per capita more than two and a half times more than industrialized countries with single payer systems.

That's because we have a high standard of living and the best health care system in the world

There are probably more MRI machines in Des Moines than in all of Canada.

For starters, what’s wrong with single payer Manchin? Untimely long wait times for service, and mandated rationing for medical care, which would result in more deaths for the sick.

I’m sure there are Republicans who would vote for single payer, given the chance.

““And it was effective. Everyone was in the system.”

Yes, they are. BUT my little rainbow-chasing muchnkin called Mnuchin doesn’t really understand NOR live in canada, like we did.

First of, everyone in canada pays into it. It all depends on the province. They set your monthly. Mine was around $75 per month in BC. Now if you cant pay into it , you write the ministry you have no money. They take care of you for FREE. So it’s the same scam here. PLUS, the simplest tests like a CT scan you are automatically put on the WAITING LIST. A CT scan in L.A. costs $50. There, you WAIT until you suffer from pain. And every damn year, the UNION doctors and nurses go on strike, asking for more money until the province bleeds dry. Gosh, Mnuchin is a moron.

If you don't want to be re-elected next year you could just retire and save us all the grief.

Yes Canada and other countries have a higher life-expectancy than we do, but as has been pointed out here and elsewhere, when you factor out black on black violence and deaths. Our life expectancy is about the same.

This goofball knows that he will not be standing or sitting in any waiting room for service and for that matter has no doubt he will be the recipient of top-of-the-line care. You just can’t take the dumb out of dumbocrats.

I did some research on the Canadian system a couple of years ago.Their government's policy is that if you get a hip replacement within 6 months of it being determined you need one you've been well served.Hip replacements are of interest to me because I've had one.Mine took 11 business days from first call to the surgeon to admission to the recovery room of a world famous hospital.

After discovering Canada's policy on hip replacements I discovered a piece in Winnipeg's newspaper that only 57% of patients in Manitoba got a new hip within 6 months of diagnosis.

I hope the Mountaineers can throw Munchin out next year. He’s pathetic.

Didn’t the president already promise single payer for the United States?

A few years back, I saw my Dr. on Monday, by Thursday I was seeing an Otolaryncologist that he referred me to, and by noon that same day, I was getting an MRI on my noggin.

This was in a town of 5,000 and a county of 15,000.

And Dems think they can improve on THAT?
