The problem is single payer alone doesn't address those costs. The American health care system is very different than most other nations. For instance, in most single payer countries the hospital system consists of multi-bed wards not shared and private rooms which require significant more cost, staffing, and equipment. Whether through premiums or taxes our current expectation of the healthcare system is incredibly expensive. Additionally federal regulation of the costs of medical treatments and drugs is non-existent in our system as opposed to other universal healthcare systems - multi-payer or single payer. Congress won't even allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices.
