Kevin Drum leaves out the words “single payer”

Read him here.  Canada, North Korea, and Cuba have single-payer governmental systems.  If you know of others (I believe there are some), please leave them in the comments.  The successes, or supposed successes, of most West European systems do not constitute evidence that a single payer system is a good idea.  This is one of the most commonly overlooked points in the debate over health care.
