I don't know how much bigger a sample you want to prove the hypothesis.

Sample size of one? Not big enough? Who knew?

You can't generalize from the cost of the current US system that all other market systems would be more costly than the typical single-payer system. One market system is definitely not a big enough sample to compare against a dozen on the other side.

"We are going back to an old discussion. All the single payer systems cost about 1/2 per person than the US system, which is unique in the industrialized countries."

How many of these single payer systems provide the profits that fuel almost all medical advances? ZERO.

Your point is irrelevant. It has as much to do with the price of tea in China as it does an argument for socialized medicine.
