I am not sure how to put in a single payer system.
No one is. But by expanding Medicare and Medicaid we can ease ourselves into it. I expect the ACA to play a big part in it too.
It's like boiling frogs. You have to turn the temperature up slowly or they will jump out of the pot.

My reason for saying this is that phrases like; "single payer healthcare" sounds simple - it is NOT!
President Trump thought it was simple. "Everybody will be insured! We'll have policies...the best policies!"
Turns out that, like Puerto Rico, it was surrounded by water and hard to get to. So he abandoned it.

Its also interesting about northern Europe. Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, etc. are all called "socialist". However, that being said they all have different types of government, healthcare, etc. They do have tax supported services, including healthcare, but they are all different!
Yes, different countries, different laws, but all social democracies. All listed among the happiest countries in the world, Health insurance, paid time off, free college, living wages. Food security.
Things that Americans can't have. Because FREEDOM.
