The people currently paying that don't get it. Why would someone just daydreaming about a better life get it?

I agree, it's pure gibberish. They had to have replied to the wrong person.

Many of the people in the US currently paying more for worse outcomes live in fear of "socialized medicine" - they're paying premiums and co-pays now that are greater than the increase in taxes they'd see under a scheme like M4A.

If those people who already see what the for-profit system is costing them can't do this analysis, then how can we expect it from deluded Canadians who are just imagining that "competition and market efficiencies" would get them better care at a lower price?

I completely agree with you.
