>But you just said it's a ridiculous trope that people would want to charitably donate to the healthcare of others. How would you get the majority to support a single payer system when electing to help others is such a ridiculous trope that you flippantly dismiss it?

Are you really that ignorant of the issue, or are you just being deliberately obtuse?

We as a society already pay way more than we would with a rational single-payer system. That's not hyperbole either.

What's more, not having employers and employees pay insurance premiums would more than offset any additional taxes.

But you knew that already, because we've known this to be the case for most, if not all, of your life.

I'm done explaining the facts of life to you. Perhaps you should ask your dad.
