How does one reconcile support for a single-payer healthcare system with an utter lack of faith in the federal government’s ability to manage it
That is a real problem. For the average person, the NHS seems clearly better than the American system, but it's hard to imagine such a thing turning out as well in America.

there are also problems inherent to each universal system: the high tax cost of the French model, the inefficiency and mediocre outcomes of the British model, the high individual cost of the Singapore model So the universal healthcare conversation in America gets bogged down
-
Why is the British mediocre? They spend half the GDP / capita compared to the US and rank way higher in all rankings.

The NHS is pretty much the worst healthcare model in Europe. Outcomes don’t lie.
-
The USA is free to pick any model in Europe. Any would be better than it's nothing.

the NHS shouldn't really be a model for the US; I don't think Americans would accept the drop in standards of care/state management of healthcare facilities that would be required to go down an NHS route (a comparison to Germany/France/Switzerland is probably more apt)
-
I think you mean for the small percentage of Americans who actually have access to the standards of care everyone seems to focus upon as desirable in the USA. There is a much larger quantity of individuals who would be ecstatic for the worst level of the UK's NHS.

There are tons of chronically ill people on Twitter from the UK talking about how NHS has failed them for years.

Hearing calls for Govt creating a data reserve like the federal reserve so medical organizations can safely share patient data. Critical infrastructure for Public Option.
