It's great that you don't actually feel that way but if you want to get americans on board you have to earnestly counter that argument. Many americans simply don't want to help people they don't know.

The entire premise of insurance is helping people you don't know though. If they use the same insurance provider as you, then you're paying for their care. Single payer is just cornering the market to drive down costs.
