Democrats are searching for ways to expand coverage by using the PRIVATE sector.

Not exactly.

Even if the insurance comes from the private sector, if its paid for, subsidized by, or mandated by the government you have a public sector program.

As a capitalist, I also like a single-payer system because it is a substantially cheaper system

That has not been established.

Also that change really does make things cheaper it may do so by reducing level and/or quality of service.

It's also important to understand that a single-payer system is not defined as a socialized system. England has a socialized system.

England has a socialized health care system. Single payer is a socialized health care insurance system.

You guys conflate all kinds of issues and overcomplicate a very simple debate.

If you don't think the issue is complex your either missing something or only addressing it on a very superficial level.
