Single Payer Healthcare Unsustainable

The "buy it or get fined" HC is nothing but extortion. Even though the SCOTUS agrees, its still extortion. End of story.

Healthcare in the U.S. costs as much as it does for a number of reasons, but two salient ones are the astronomical administrative costs (associated with the mess that is Insurance companies hiring a 20 person squad to figure out what does or doesn't get covered in various cases), and the lack of a mass market buying system for most drugs and treatments (buying in bulk like you would under single-payer saves a lot of $$). It strikes me that a lot of those costs become reduced if single-payer could get effectively implemented at a national level.
