The question I have asked many times and have never gotten an answer to is:
If single payer healthcare is so great, why havent we seen any states do it? Why does it have to be the whole country at one shot? Why not do like Sweden, where municipalities collect taxes for health coverage and pay them out to hospitals as people receive care? One would think that a state as liberal as Massachusetts with such a high median income would have made that leap already. There's nothing to stop them.
