you are making an assumption that it would lower health care costs... but what makes you believe that? did the changes Obama put in place so far lower health care costs AT ALL? (I don't mean of course that some people get lower cost insurance because it's getting subsidized, but I mean actual lower cost)

You are forgetting that under Obamacare there are no price regulations for health care. If you go single payer, you also regulate the costs of health care and medication.
It's not magic voodoo other countries do and every single one has health care costs at a fraction of ours. Our country is also the only modern western country that doesn't regulate the cost of prescription drugs.
Even fucking Mexico regulates the price of prescription drugs.
