Why America isn't catching single-payer fever

Ambitious Democrats are marching to Bernie Sanders’ drum these days: Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Cory Booker — all Senators seeking the White House in 2020 — have signed onto the socialist senator’s plan for socializing health insurance.

“Medicare for All” is Sanders’ current euphemism. “Single-payer healthcare” is the standard euphemism. Single-payer, of course, means single-decider, and that decider is Uncle Sam. Sanders, who thinks Americans suffer from excessive choices of deodorant, is fine with centralizing medical decision-making in the hands of bureaucrats.
