re: That the overprescribing of drugs is both a cause of our current health care woes (one of many, of course) and an example of something that will only get worse under a single payer system.

Well, since that doesn't seem to be a problem in the other "rich countries" that have national health insurance, I assume you think it's a character issue with the US consumer?

It's pretty simple... the countries with single payer medical care get equivalent or better results for 20% to 50% less money.

You can nuance it to death, but those are the facts.
