A PNHP single-payer zealot writes an op-ed that triggers significant resistance in the comments:

You know, what this really ultimately comes down to is others trying to preach and force their morality and views on those who do not want it. If I say I DO NOT WANT TO BE WITHIN A UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE SYSTEM, should that not be my right? If others want their socialized setup, let them go ahead. They can do it. I want no part of it. In Canada it’s not even legal to privately pay for a lot of healthcare. There are private clinics hamstrung by laws prohibiting people from healthcare that they otherwise can afford, so they in some cases come to the US. I want to stay in the private system. Let there be a grander social system. I don’t care. I don’t want a part of it and I don’t want my money supporting it. Build it, let people opt-in, let others opt-out and keep what they’ve got. This is fair and everybody wins. Right?

With a significant amount of the population sharing similar views, a single-payer system will unlikely ever happen here.
