Reply #25: BTW, China itself is adopting a single payer system starting in January if I remember correctly.

Which will make our country even less competitive in the manufacturing sector.

I guess guess for some it's okay for us to pay for China's single payers system (by killing off all our jobs and outsourcing manufacturing there thereby sending our money over there so we won't have any money here to do anything for our citizens) but we can't pay for one here. At least that what the reasoning I'm hearing seems to boil down to.
