Under single-payer, say goodbye to medical bankruptcies in the United States.
Say hello to a massive increase in taxes.
That's exactly what corporate designed health insurance is = a massive tax

Yes folks we in America are being duped by the industry and some elected officials.
Potter was employed by Humana in Kentucky before he moved to Connecticut to work for CIGNA in 1993. He began his journey towards resigning and becoming a consumer advocate in July 2007 when he saw a free clinic run by Remote Area Medical in rural Virginia:
What he saw appalled him. Hundreds of desperate people, most without any medical insurance, descended on the clinic from out of the hills. People queued in long lines to have the most basic medical procedures carried out free of charge. Some had driven more than 200 miles from Georgia. Many were treated in the open air or in the county fair livestock barns. Potter took pictures of patients lying on trolleys on rain-soaked pavements.
Potter retired from CIGNA in 2008 and became an active voice on healthcare reform in 2009.

And a concurrent massive reduction in health insurance premiums*, and outrageous deductibles, which often more than makes up for the tax.
*(as in GONE ALTOGETHER)
The idea is your taxes increase by less than you would otherwise pay in medical insurance and medical expenses.
*(Along with millions of jobs in the insurance industry.)
And remove your ability to choose how much you want to pay for medical insurance and medical expenses.

Not at all. Medicare will not pay for everything. Its up to you to decide if you want a supplemental policy and what you want covered under that policy. Medicare is good basic coverage and catastrophic insurance; it is not a cadillac plan. Under current law there is no requirement that you even take medicare, leaving the door open for alternatives.
The insurance industry is substantially an unnecessary middle man that tends to add to the cost infrastructure.
Under single-payer, say goodbye to medical bankruptcies in the United States.
According to Physicians for a National Health Program and U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), more than 62 percent of the more than 2.2 million personal bankruptcies in the United States are due to medical expenses.
This problem does not just touch those with health insurance. Many of those who need to file for bankruptcy due to medical costs had health insurance coverage. Single-payer health care would provide health care for all and ensure that no one goes bankrupt due to illness.
This video explains the problem and the solution very well.

We didn't not move forward with cell phones because we were worried about the jobs tied to traditional telephones. What about the cable industry? A market economy adapts as it grows more efficient. There will still be the need for third party claims processors serving either the government or the health providers.

LOL!!
So...not only do you want to massively raise my taxes, you are telling me that all that money ISN'T going to give me the coverage I want. I'll STILL have to buy insurance.

Thanks for the link, but I get enough spin, speculation, innuendo, HYPERBOLE, lies...and, of course, Maddow-like sarcasm from my fellow idiot members of DP.
I'll pass.
In context, Trump seemed to be saying that his preferred boycott may cost Goodyear employees their jobs -- the company employs 60,000 workers just in Ohio -- but he doesn't believe it should matter too much, since they'll just go work somewhere else.
