re: He filled it with horror stories re. American health care and depicted socialized medicine as perfect - no problems whatsoever. Anyone with a brain knows that isn't realistic.

There are propagandists on both sides. The insurance companies have A LOT to lose.

re: Nationalized health care would almost certainly provide a lower standard of care for many people, particularly the elderly, who now have health insurance.

"Almost certainly"? On what do you base that? The only thing that really changes is the payer, and how would Medicare get worse?

And single payer would 100% certainly provide better care for many people... those with no insurance right now.

The above premise in your post is by no means a certainty. In fact, from what I understand, just the opposite........Sicko shows that a national health plan can be more effective for less money than the way health care is set up in this country.
