Seriously, it's not a debate.

Would you rather save almost 50% of the national health expenditure, or hope that greed doesn't get us into this problem again?

A single-payer system will work, I've run the numbers myself. I only used stats from the CMS website, a Harvard Study, and various other reports published through credible organizations. But if you're not into those things called "facts" then might I recommend reading the following quote "When there is an income tax, the just man will pay more and the unjust less on the same amount of income." So label yourself as unjust if you will, and perpetuate your psychotic idea of health as an industry that should be for profit. Just think about how you would feel if faced with back end of medical costs and your choices are debt or die.
