No, but it's already a problem in the US. I would expect moving to a single payer system would make that particular type of issue worse.

So, the problems brought on by the uniquely weird and shitty US health insurance system will persist when we transition to the tried-and-tested alternatives the rest of the developed world use without those problems?
