@stratecaster547 , but no 100 million.
What I am saying is that smaller nations have less diversity and different cultures to where their systems work. But just because it "works" there does not mean it will work elsewhere. Germany also has a culture of less freedom. Look at their education system, for example, in how they track their students.
Again, your anti-progressive question does not work here. We have seen the free market excel in every part of our society. Look at LASIK for example, over time it has become cheaper and better. Now look at mental health. When the federal government took over mental health with the Community Mental Health Act of 1963 it led to less mental health facilities and our mental health patients being released without proper treatment.
Also, again with the free market, our healthcare in the US was very strong before government takeover of it. In the 40s and 50s guess what we didn't have? Medicare and Medicaid but yet our healthcare at the time was strong. Now there were other reasons for it as well, but there is a free market example.
But again, with your mindset of "it doesn't exist therefore it will never exist" is anti-progress. You are the type of person that would has said in the 60s that putting a man on the moon is impossible because it has never been done.
Again, come up with better arguments.

@stratecaster547 , but it didn't happen yet, so your mindset would have been "can't be done:". There is a ton of evidence of the free market excelling over government programs. We have a ton of evidence of federal government programs failing, like I did with mental health in the Community Mental Health Act of 1963. There is a lot of evidence of single payer not doing well.
You point to a healthcare ranking, do you even know how that ranking was developed? I doubt it. The reality is that healthcare rankings are arbitrary as anyone can do a legit analysis on the stats and create any ranking they want. That is why no academic source develops these rankings but instead special interest groups with a motive do. Also, some of those nations ranked higher than the US are Malta and San Marino, is it fair to compare us to them? At this point it is clear you are just blindly following something without question. Why do you do that?
There is no market motive to put a man on the moon where the motive was more international relations as we were competing with the Russians. That is the role of the federal government. Noticed how we have not done it lately? Because there is no value there. But the government did create the internet where the free market create Google, Amazon, Youtube, etc. Noticed how much better the free market made the internet? Another example of the free market excelling. If there was a financial advantage in going to the moon constantly the free market will find a better way to do it than the government would where astronauts died in Apollo 1 and some other almost died in Apollo 13.
So far, though, you have not shown strong evidence that single payer is inferior. Tell me, why do you blindly follow an arbitrary ranking? Do you even know how that ranking is developed?
