The problem is only an idiot would compare Medicare with single payer. Idiots looks only at the benefits part while completely ignoring how Medicare is funded.
For the record Medicare has some real restrictions (no prescription coverage) and only covers 80% of the bill and has co-payments. Decent Medicare coverage involves adding a supplement typically costing an addition $150 to $200 month on top of the $100+ taken out of social security benefits. That of course is on top of the thousands of dollars that had been collect before you were even eligible to collect an benefits.
