Agreed....and single payer is probably the best option to control costs...

Yeah people in your situation are mad. I can also tell you that people are going to be really pissed off paying more in taxes also. It is a game of winners and losers.
I probably paid close to 15-16k income taxes last year. I would imagine single payer would add about 5k more at the least. People below the poverty line or who don't make much in income will love single payer. Middle and upper middle class people will whine about it.
I mean if single payer was so popular we would have it by now, right?
Plus there would be wide spread rationing and waiting lists for elective surgery also. People really complain about that.
