Why aren't you clamoring for single payer auto insurance for example? === Not a bad idea. In Hawaii over 25% of drivers have no insurance and another huge chunk carry the minimum. Seeing it is mandatory here, i find it amazing that cops can stop for DUI, seat belt, etc. but never catch anyone w/o insurance....

you might want to look into the facts a bit as you clearly know nothing other than to spout off some libertarian clap trap

Re: Why aren't you clamoring for single payer auto insurance If you could buy a new body (just move your brain over, I suppose) you'd have a valid metaphor, but that's not the case. The problem with health insurance is the idiots who demand that $500,000 be spent torturing mom or dad for those couple of extra weeks. People don't do that for their cars, they buy a new one - but you can't buy a new mom or dad. The economic demand for car insurance has a rational basis, the nature of the demand for health insurance is not. That's why single payer for health insurance is not the same as single payer for car insurance.
