I see nothing wrong in having private health care for those that can afford it. I just believe that no-one should be without health care because they can't afford it. With single payer, those young guys that don't buy health insurance because they are young and healthy, will have to pay along with everyone else, sort of like a medical savings plan for when they are old and infirm. If you take out the middle men, Insurance and HMOs and all their profit, universal health care would be feasable. Paying some insurance dude big bucks to sit on a doctors shoulder and decide who gets care and who doesn't is criminal, let the treating doctor decide the treatment.
