More than half of American adults want to transition to a single-payer healthcare system, according to a Washington Post-Kaiser Family Foundation poll conducted earlier this year.
Even the pied piper of single-payer, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., recently admitted "There will be pain" in the process of implementing his proposed "Medicare for all" plan.
Just consider the economic devastation single-payer would sow.
Single-payer would require trillions in new, economically devastating taxes.
The left-leaning Urban Institute estimated the single-payer plan that Sanders touted on the 2016 presidential campaign trail would cost the federal government $32 trillion over a 10-year period.
In Canada's single-payer system, which served as the inspiration for Sanders' plan, patients are waiting longer than ever for treatment.
Many Democrats are "Feeling the Bern"- they have convinced themselves, and a sizable share of the American public, that single-payer is a worthy idea.
