3. I wish that we could have single payer tomorrow.

It would make sense for every patient.

The problem, of course, is getting it through a Republican Congress. So long as we have a Republican Congress, there will be no single payer health care system in the United States.

Until we have a majority in both bodies of the Congress, the best that we can probably do is to improve the Affordable Health Care Act. We still have too many uninsured people out there, people who cannot access the health care system in any normal way.

Personally, I believe that Clinton has the experience and the talent to get some improvements through Congress. It is one of the main reasons that I voted for her.

I think it's likely that we will eventually have a single-payer system, but in the meantime, there are people who desperately need the kind of help that we can get through the Congress that we are presently stuck with.
