We have single payer. It comes out of something. It isn't free. We are taxed like 40-50% of our income, so we pay dearly for the system (and other social systems in place).
I doubt Americans (in general) are willing to go there, or as far.
Also, with the system in place, I *still* pay between €100-150 for my medication monthly. So it's not free by any means.
I mean it is nice to dream, but the reality of it isn't that great either. It would be far *better* than the system you have now, even though Obamacare was a step towards this.
