The problem with single-payer is not lack of insurance options, it’s the way govt screws the supply and demand equation, particularly specialist care. Normally, increased demand would push prices up, thus giving an incentive to increase supply. With single payer this doesn’t happen, because an increase in prices means the taxpayer has to pay more, so the govt doesn’t allow prices to increase.
