> It works in every other developed nation in the world

The cost side works in every other developed nation? Surely you're aware of how much more expensive health care costs are in the US, so what might you be referring to?

Yes, I am aware. One of the benefits of single-payer is the reduction in cost of administration.

There are other effects as well - nobody is getting away with billing $600 for a 5 minute visit, for instance.

Friend of mine ended up in hospital in the US for a while. He had an accountant visit him at his bedside! WTF does an accountant have to do with healthcare?!
