Depends where you are looking at it from, right now if you have a pre-existing condition and don't have a group policy from work you are totally screwed, with single payer you are not screwed.

If on the other hand you have a good policy through your employer then single payer doesn't do much for you.

If you are in the screwed category then whatever problems single payer may have aren't terribly relevant because no matter what problems it has, it's better than what you have now, which is nothing.

Being self-employed I'd like the single payer system, on account of what I have now sucks, but it doesn't mean that much to me, if I developed a serious enough health problem I could always buy a lethal dose of barbiturates and be done with the whole problem.

Whatever they come up with probably won't be helpful in any case, they'll make a big deal about how now I have a guaranteed issue policy available but won't mention the fact that it costs $1,500 a month.
