Single payer has been an abject failure everywhere it's been usedThese are all very common elective surgeries here that get taken care of quickly and conveniently in the US. There's also a lot of other statistics on that site as well.
I don't try to defend the current/past system as infallible, or as the best, or running on all cylinders. But it does have some major major advantages that should not be overlooked. One of those areas is how we greatly reward and fund medical research.

I am sorry you had such a hard time with your knee. I don't wish that on anyone.
After that situation, I'm done with captialism and private insurance. Single Payer for everyone. Done. Finished. Make the rich go to the same hospitals as the poor, you'll fix the problem.
If the US does not behave like all the other countries then they won't be invited to any more reindeer games
(eyes roll) All the cool countries are doing it.
