Yeah, it's kind of sad that this is one of the least active forums on DU

11. Here is my idea on Single Payer

In both Houses of Congress, a map of the world will be attached to a dartboard. Every OECD country with Single Payer, which I believe is 33 outta 34, will be yellow and the rest of the countries will be red. Every member gets three throws.

Let's say a member gets one Italy, one France, and one Canada. They get to choose which vote to cast. Lots of opportunity for backroom dealing.

Now a member who lands two Germanys and one Netherlands would seem to naturally want to vote the two Germanys, but ya never know what the backroom dealing might turn up.

They cast their votes, but it's unlikely to end up in a majority winner in either House. So the Top Five in both Houses will go up on the dartboard.

Still no majority winner? Top two.

If the winner in each House isn't the same, then it goes to Super Committee. The winner from both Houses goes on the dartboard, and the Super Committee throw their darts.

Voila. We have a nation chosen who's healthcare system we will adopt.

This plan has to be better than our current system.
