But won't that just cause a glut in those countries, driving down wages? Or simply cause them not to go to med school, hence doc shortage?

Almost all single-payer systems have deductibles and copays. If you wanted single-payer, why not just expand Medicare eligibility to 18?

It's not realistic. It's more about marketing than about serious reform or an attempt at change.

So you wanna expand Medicare for everyone, eliminate copays, and raise the Medicare deductible to $6,000? I'm down.

The deductibles would be much higher - probably in 15k range. Most people would be forced to save in medical savings accounts to pay cash.
