The fallacy in this comment is that the choices are between the (totally broken) system we had in the US in 2007 and single-payer. There are countries where health care works that occupy neither of those extremes.

Very true. But the primarily vitriolic arguments against single-payer (or, really, anything other than status quo) are equally fallacious.
