if you want to see what would happen with a single payer plan look at the performance of medicare, medicaid and the VA. Doctors complain that under medicare and medicaid they are paid little and under medicaid sometimes not at all. In the long run, how much time realistically will a doctor(s) spend with a medicaid, medicare patients?

many doctors simply refuse to accept medicare or medicaid patients. some doctors work on a cash basis only. you pay me. I'll give you a bill and a DX and you chase after the money

The last people who should be involved in handling health care reimbursement is the government
