Yeah, if you're sick, you should die in a gutter somewhere. We don't need to worry about the filthy sick people in the US.

there isn't enough money to have our current expectation of care-on-demand at a price people are willing to pay.


Sure there is. Every other OECD country in the world has figured it out, are you saying we're dumber than them?

taxing people making $30k/yr at 45% of gross income


That's an odd %, and in no way supported by facts. Your incorrect fantasy on how high taxes might go to prevent a policy you disagree with doesn't change reality.

no they haven't

see: long waits for care in countries like Canada and the UK

those countries do not have anywhere close to "our current expectation of care-on-demand". they have "care-upon-wait"

Please tell us what tax rate will be required for your socialistic plan to convert to single payer?

If it's not 45%, what is it?

Nope. The have lower standards of care, and ration care. Try again.

Completely supported by fact, and I've presented the calcs here before.

My calculated required taxation rate is a lot stronger case than your strawman that people will be left to die in the streets.
