I was always opposed to a single payer system. Then I turned 65 and now on Medicare with a medigap supplement (not an Medicare Advantage Plan) The many types of Medigap plans are controlled by the government but purchased thru private insurance companies. (Price being the only difference)

I am now essentially in a Single Payer System. Anyone over 65 who is on Medicare tell me why you are opposed to a Single Payer System.

If you have medicare advantage, you do not need to screw around with the paper work

it is truly an advantage

Let me know how you feel about Socialized Medicine when you hit 75 and you will no longer be able to get anything but ‘end of life’ counseling.

I'm not over 65 and not on Medicare, but I can tell you that the cuts - even with your plans through private carriers - will soon be impacted. They have been only vaguely affected over the past couple years, but the system is unsustainable and you'll see the downsides soon.
