One side says turn it over to the government because private industry is driving up costs through greed and inefficiency. The other side says return it to private industry because government is causing prices to rise through inefficiency. Two things are clear - prices are higher than we want and inefficiency needs to be removed.

I agree with you that Single Payer would be a nightmare. It would be ironic that we would pass such countries as Britain and Canada on the path to Single Payer just as they're beginning to realize that it was the wrong path. P.S. It's interesting that both sides see that there is a problem with health care costs, but neither side thinks the other sees a problem, because the problems we see are so diametrically opposed. As with so many other issues, we need to come together with our political opponents and see their points of view, and then we'll find a solution.
