Using spain and greece for comparison sure seems like cherrypicking your data.

Also it has been proven many times by many people that if US were to transition to single payer insurance system, it would actually decrease the spending. No one claims it is easy, but there is absolutely no reason for the US insurance system to exist under single payer, that would be just setting piles of cash on fire.

I would quibble with the word proven here. There are compelling arguments with good data. single-payer could be better or worse depending on actual implementation and coverage.

It's also worth noting that many countries with single pair still have a supplemental insurance market for premium coverage not included.
