You have to ask yourself one simple question, if you are skeptical about single-payer.
If they use this financial model in many large industrial nations, and they are as terrible as the rightwing Rupublicans like to say, why haven't they been repealed?
Remember in many of these nations they operate under "parlimentary" types of governmental systems. In those systems in one election you can sweep into national power when one political party gains the majority number of seats in their legislative house.
So if the healthcare system was terrible in Germany, France, or Denmark you would have seen public outcry and elections would have caused action to abolish or reform these systems.
So as my friends on the Right like to say let the "market" decide. Well it has. Hundreds of millions of Europeans live under these systems and are apparently satisfied. THAT IS THE MARKET.
We should do this. If the Governor won't do it, then his eventual successor will. We have to keep beating on this issue until we are successful and get it passed.
