Not a chance. If you cant make the case for single payer now when we have the worst system imaginable, you have no hope of making it when the market is free to do what it does for every other service or product out there--make it affordable, plentiful, efficient and of high quality. Right now, the market handles the food delivery system. Do you think you have any chance of convincing anyone that it out to be turned over to a single payer-type approach? I dont. And if that analogy doesnt work for you, come up with another service that you think would perform better taken out of the hands of the private sector and put in the hands of the state.I definitely agree that we have the worst of all possible setups and that both a pure market approach and a socialized system would work better, and which you choose depends on what you want to happen.
I am actually entirely OK with implementing a complete free market system at this point because I am pretty sure that it would make the case for single payer a lot simpler.
