If the Democratic presidential candidates are going to run on a platform with a national health care system they should go with "Single Payer." Not necessarily because it may be the best of the various national systems but because it would be the easiest to sell, politically.
- Single Payer just sounds streamlined and efficient. Something the lowest common denominator can comprehend.
- I'm not an expert but I think Single Payer would end the custom of getting health insurance through employers. I think this could be sold as fewer things employers and employees have to worry about.
- This is also the system employed by Canada. It doesn't seem so scary if the quiet neighbor to the north isn't complaining.
