I have a question for those who favor a single payer healthcare system. I'm serious because I haven't quite made up my mind on it. One question that occurs to me is, under the current (or even modified) insurance system, if an insurance company refuses coverage for some procedure and it turns out that refusal causes health damage, there is legal recourse. Under a single payer (government) insurance system, would we have the realistic ability to sue the government?
