I'm just curious if anyone thinks it's a bad idea because it would be against our Constitution and the founding father's desires for the Federal Government? It shouldn't even be a question as it was very evident that the founding fathers wanted the Federal Government's power(s) to be small and powers limited whereas the States power(s) to be vast and large. It hasn't worked out to be that way though.
I say this because there is no doubt when "Single Payer" is mentioned or said it refers to the Federal Government handling and administering it. There are many who would even argue that much of the Federal Government today is way larger and bigger than the founders ever wanted or envisioned. I doubt that, if we had stuck to the limitations on the Federal Government that the founders envisioned we would have never had the Post Office, Medicare or the Department of Education.
I'm still trying to figure out just what the Federal Government does do better and more efficiently than private industry. I think one great frustration that Donald Trump is experiencing is along the line of seeing that as a politician he cannot do what a CEO Can do in private industry. I think he's trying to perform as a CEO but Washington isn't set up for that and doesn't work like that.
