The National Health Service has operated in the UK since 1948 and it's one of the most efficient healthcare systems in the world. There's plenty of other examples where single-payer has been successfully implemented, meanwhile the US is pretty terrible and needlessly cruel when it comes to healthcare.

I've taken economics in high school, yes.
As far as paying for something like universal healthcare, we'd actually save $350 billion per year if we switched to single-payer in the US and replaced insurance premiums with taxes.

"high school economics"
You also put tons of people out of jobs for minimal gain if any for quality(probably decrese if anything) and increse prices for the average consumer.

Some places in the United States are much more remote, so travel times and medical transport take longer and are much more expensive. In places like Alaska, most of the time helicopter medevac is the only option, which is also very expensive. Making taxpayers pay for all of this would be very expensive indeed.
