1 is disproven when you look at other countries with single payer, and they have a much better handle on their healthcare costs than we do.

3 - about the same amount as the private sector.

On #1 there is a lot of data that suggests single payer can be cheaper. On innovation, other countries lag.

I disagree on #3, at least in the US.

Would we rather have Health Care run like UPS or the Postal Service?
