Why would single-payer involve people losing their current insurance? As
far as I know, that was a peculiarity of Canada's system; it's not true
of the British NHS, or in France or, as far as I know, the rest of
Western Europe. The important thing is to force everyone to buy into the
government-provided health care system; allowing people to buy private
insurance as well doesn't conflict with that.
