No, it’s not a question of who pays for it but who benefits.

You could have universal health with zero additional spending by the US government, but all that administrative overhead is someone’s income.

No one benefits when there's a single player in an industry. When that single player also owns your taxes and military, its a risk we should at least avoid if at all possible.

		Let’s try and deal with actual facts here. If you disagree then you should be able to post some actual data in terms of lifespans or costs that says otherwise. There’s multiple healthcare systems around the world, single payer results in vastly less administrative and thus overall spending and equal or better outcomes overall. So by objective criteria the average person massively benefits from single payer healthcare.

Companies don't hesitate to lay people off when their jobs aren't needed. I don't see why these parasitic insurance companies need to stay in business.
