>There IS Medicaid you know. The problem with single payer is that health care is still rationed based on one's ability to pay. However, people now have to pay more for it because they have to pay high taxes to maintain the single payer system and still pay for private health insurance in case they need medical attention for something that is not life threatening.


Nonsense.

Nonsense for the (previous) dutch system, most scandinavian system I know and even for the NHS today (which is different than a decade and a half ago).
Even when I look at OHIP in ontario, canada, you're talking nonsense.
