As for the end result being a multipayer universal health care system like Germany, I don't think that is excluded. The absolute key as I wrote earlier is that the needle has been moved-- universal health care/single-payer is on the table, and if enough political will is exerted a universal health care plan will be enacted someday (after 2020 no doubt, given political realities). By pushing the needle to the single-payer extreme, the path to a workable solution is more probably as each potential problem is recognized and addressed and the legislation adjusted accordingly."
It is often useful to integrate the points made during an ongoing discussion, keeping track of who is saying what, in order to avoid intercommunicating and having a more fruitful discussion.
