Single payer will come because Wal-Mart, Exxon-Mobil, Microsoft, McDonald's, Subway etc would love to not have to provide health insurance. They want to save hundreds of millions and even billions of dollars they spend on Human Resources and benefits managers and the time they have to spend on explaining their policies and options.

The costs of the universal coverage will be spread out as a tax. Instead of paying premiums we pay a tax. Those of you who complain about the taxes with for national health insurance realize that we do pay a tax via our premiums and we pay a hidden tax in our bills and in our co-pays.

You capitalists who who hate socialism have to realize that the big corporations want to get out of the health insurance hassle and private insurance companies will be contracted to be our national health care providers.

it's that simple really.

Yeah I know THEY want it, and why the politicians in their pockets want it.

Say what? You can't say that because something is replaced with a tax that it was itself a tax all along. Of course you CAN say that because you're a communist, but it's not true.

Also, the amount of increased tax a regular joe like me pays for single payer may be more or less than what I pay for insurance now, but it will for absolute certain be for a lower quality of care. You know that as well as I do.
