Quote:I'm not sure what you mean by this. Did I say that the US will not have more expensive health care than other countries'? Because I believe the opposite: even a very effective health care reform would probably still cost more than all but the most lavish cradle-to-grave Scandinavian plans. But, since the US is already paying something like half-again what anyone else pays, single payer would shrink the difference by cutting down on the stunning inefficiencies of the current model. It wouldn't transform one of the most unequal, unhealthy countries in the developed world into Denmark overnight.

I agree fully with you. Sorry for the confusion.
