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.

By the same argument GE shouldn't function as well your dry cleaners.

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.

You don't have to add more layers to service more people, just more bodies in the existing layers. In fact you should get an economy of scale.

Or if you prefer we could set up single payer in each state and then it would work like the more efficient single payer systems that are smaller???
