I suppose you could make the argument that national health care already exists to some extent, but I don't think the public would allow "single payer" to ever be forced upon it.

not unless we were suddenly revisited by the black death or something, and the entire country took leave of it's senses.

I concur with your thoughts. I should have
inserted the sarcasm tag.

Having worked in healthcare finance -- a single
payor system might reduce red tape -- naw --
day dreaming again.
