re: Single-payer would be a nightmare for Americans

I don't know that it would be successful here, but to assume that it would be either a success or a failure without a fair and honest survey of countries that do have single payer systems is a waste of thought.
A friend of mine that, due to his line of work, has many European colleagues recently hosted a discussion about the opinions of those colleagues related to health care. Those in single payer systems were almost unanimously satisfied with the level of care compared to their experiences with other systems.
Of course, we could easily find a way to screw up any health care system, so I don't base my curiosity about single payer solely on those sort of informal discussions. I do consider it as valuable input though.

I can already see the endless layers of bureaucratic red tape that will come with a single-payer system that not one single person will like. Many will be left sorely dissatisfied with the efficiency and quality of their healthcare.
What a utopia we will have when all of us get to share in the crappy misery of what people on medicaid or veterans have to deal with.

My experience with ex-pats is the opposite. When's coworkers daughter was diagnosed with a suspicious growth in her throat... he got her "right the f@ck out of the U.K." To Houston. Had her treated successfully at MD Anderson at 100% his own expense. She had removal surgery, and several rounds of radiation before her first available consult with an oncologist was available in NHS.
