Hot Air's Ed Morrisey debunks the single-payer health care idea

Ed Morrisey writing over at Hot Air does a nice job explaining how the Canadian-style single-payer health plan idea is a death warrant for Americans.
In a simple manner demonstrates what has happened in England and Canadian when a government run single-payer health plan is implemented.

This scenario is not academic. The health systems in Canada and the UK have shortages of doctors, especially specialists like dentists, transplant surgeons, and the like, which is why it takes months to get testing and diagnosis even for serious illnesses. Why? It costs a lot of money to go through medical school and residencies for surgical specialties. The limited amount of compensation for the work they do makes the debt burden of training too heavy. Instead, more doctors stop at the general practice level, leaving artificial shortages in the specialties. Others move overseas to nations without single-payer systems in order to ply their trade for a proper level of compensation.
