When you are imagining single payer in the US, are you imagining it being designed and run by the people who created the current system?

People seem to be big fans of Medicare. Of those covered by Medicare 75% say the system is working well, only 22% say it is working poorly. [1]

Thank you for the thoughtful response to my question.
What's really interesting is that 60% of people in general (including those already on it) say Medicare is working well for seniors - but when you drill down only to the people actually covered, that number jumps up to 75%. Same source. Seems like a marketing issue?
