in the U.S. has to go through the Legislative Branch.  I think you're about as likely to look out the back window and see a unicorn as you would to see the Legislative Branch pass single-payer.  I'm not sure you'd get 125 votes of the 216 needed, not to mention the Senate.

Bill, if Obama got behind that or a similar bill from the start we could just expand Medicare to cover all since its foundation is already built. Just massively tweak it and expand rates for doctors and hospitals as well. I never said it has to be a new Single Payer system.
