"You are ignoring the BILLIONS of dollars going to insurance and drug companies for profits and administrative costs that would be shifted to medical treatment under a not-for-profit single payer system."
"Let us not ignore the waste and fraud perpetrated by the for-profit hospitals and HMO's. A single payer system could police that kind of activity much better."
Well I think cutting costs is the whole point of a single payer system too.
You're right though, there would be billions of extra dollars floating around.
