So you're being disingenuous, as I know you're "smart"
oh, I have no doubt that, just as apparently many homeless people have flocked to CA, the CA population would swell with people from nearby states who didn't want to pay for their medical care or couldn't. Probably even some believers in "socialized medicine" that can afford care.
Population differences don't mean squat, unless you're trying to imply that all our extra population is poor, which is false. Fact: we have more millionaires and more billionaires than any country in the world in terms of raw numbers
You make me chuckle. You have no idea how business works, or how supply and demand works, or even apparently how bloated every single government agency is, but you argue that the size of the population makes no difference.
The size of the population makes every difference when talking about a national healthcare system. The more people being serviced, the more layers of administration required. The more layers of administration you have, the more wasted spending you have.
Our government is incapable of doing the majority of the tasks which are currently within its purview in an efficient and economic manner as it is, and you think it could do so with a mandate to provide healthcare to the entire population? Sheesh.

Nope, that's right wing paranoia. You claim to be a libertarian, but espouse so many Republican talking points

Have you ever run a business? Ever worked at a level higher than peon in the corporate world? From the displayed ignorance in your posts, I’m guessing the answer is no.

That has what to do with the price of tea in China? Countries with single payer healthcare still have private business and corporations

I asked the question in order to determine if you had any experience running a business or even being in corporate management. If so, you would at least have some basis on which to build your arguments. Considering that you answered me with an attempt to discuss something completely different from the topic of national healthcare I’m pretty sure you’re either being intentionally obtuse or you simply have no idea how convoluted such an undertaking would be.

It wouldn't be convoluted. If it was, then no country on earth would have single payer.....

Ah, we are back to comparing the United States with countries which have a fifth of our population and nothing resembling the constitutional limits placed on our federal government. I’m not running through that circle again, so have a nice day.
Australia’s Healthcare System is one of the most comprehensive in the world; offering a range of services from general and preventative health, through to treating more complex conditions, that may need a specialist, or hospital care.
The system has two major parts: the public health system, and the private health system. When you need health care, you could access it through one of two systems, or a mix of both.
Trump and the Republicans had two years to take a plan like this and make it their own plan for our people, but they did nothing. Why?
