Single payer doesn't address the costs of the healthcare, it merely changes who pays for it. It is just another government redistribution program that makes the earners pay more while the moochers continue to get free stuff.

Cost per procedure cost may go down by a small percentage by way of standardizing some paperwork, who so what? Saving 10% is not worth it for having to give up stewardship of your healthcare. The same people that work at the DMV should not be in control of any matter that has ANYTHING to do with your health.
