1. Somebody's oxen would be gored, if we went to single payer: insurance companies & drug companies come to mind instantly.

How they feel is beside the point in evaluating the efficacy of health care systems.

2. Then, doctors' work loads would probably be cut by 40%...just by not constantly having to fill out insurance forms. Hospitals could concentrate on health care, instead of dollar care. Administrative cost would shrink.

Those insurance forms include Medicare and Medicaid forms. They would still have Bernie forms to fill out. Obviously it would be more efficient to not have to deal with a variety of forms but the forms don't go away.

3. People would see their doctors more often, instead of emergency rooms.

They would also see their doctors more often, period. More cheaper visits vs fewer expensive visits? Take more than the back of an envelope to crack that one.

4. Is Canada or Germany going broke providing health care?

We've discussed the initiation of Canadian medicare in Saskatchewan way back when. Canadians have been acclimated to it. We are not in Saskatchewan way back when or even now. As for Germany, it doesn't have single payer so is also beside the point.
