"The only incremental part is the current uninsured, which would probably mostly be covered by the savings of going to single payer. "

The discussion you are edging in on is about why leaving the poor uninsured uninsured while expanding federally subsidized medical care into the middle class is necessary. Most people who understand the issue realize it is a bad idea.

As far as socializing medicine, the idea that the costs would be decreased without a proportional decrease in quality or quantity of medical care provided is ridiculous.
