My point is that government is just too damned big to be good at most things. An organization this huge cannot function well because of layer after layer of organizational structure and the bureaucracy is so thick you can't cut through it.

This is a key reason it makes no sense to suggest that single payer would work in the US because it works in other countries. A country with 5 million population is more like a US state, where the government is much smaller and less bureaucratic -- you have fewer layers of bureaucracy between the top and the bottom.

Our government could get more done with a fraction of the money if it were half the size it currently is.
