Okay for all those who for some reason still support this idea of single payer, even though it's been shown that it leads to a decrease in quality, increase in corruption (bribes etc.) and higher taxes since you can't support it otherwise, I want you to consider this major issue:

Antibiotic resistance
Even one of the strongest antibiotic is likely to one day become less and less effective which will need to be replaced by a new stronger better antibiotic. This could literally throw healthcare back to the middle ages. Simple infections could become deadly and even simple operations could become impossible due to a high risk of infection. (Worst of all? Goodbye fake boobs.)
Here is a highlight from the article:
"There are few if any replacements for carbapenems in development, says Elizabeth Jungman, director of drug safety and innovation at the Pew Charitable Trusts in Washington DC.
Companies lack economic incentives to develop new antibiotics, she says, and researchers have found it difficult to find new ways to get Gram-negative bacteria to take up antibiotics."
Do you get that? Companies (presumably pharmaceutical) lack economic incentives. Could Obamacare and all these peksy taxes and regulations be fueling the problem? Certainly. The left believes that "big pharma" is evil and needs to be taxed to shit. (Even though they've probably saved millions of lives.)
Now I don't know about you but a complete takeover of healthcare by the government is going to create even LESS economic incentives since socialized medicine often comes with price controls. That's how they keep it cheap in Europe, but it also stiffles innovation and reduces the total number of products.
