Having employers, with their myriad of different interests, in the middle of the payment system is more dysfunctional from a free market perspective than having the government running the payment system. I agree that having this as an employment benefit has distorted the system terribly and driven up its cost. But I think your leap from there to a government single-payer system is an unsupportable leap of faith. If we could actually get to a free market from here then that would be great. But we can't. That sounds like you've actually considered other alternatives. What made you give up on them?
