No argument that many people are already covered by the government. The premise in your article is wrong, though, as opponents (aka, me) don't want a single payer solution that wipes our privatized health insurance. I am one of many who want government completely out of covering health care as it is contrary to the founding principles of the United States. You make a good argument, but it should have been used to demonstrate how 'socialized' we already are. Then let the arguments begin about how ineffective government run anything really is.... they are the problem, not the solution.
