Republicans were a couple decades too late when they said single payer or Obamacare would bring death panels. We already have death panels wifh medicare, medicaid, and workplace insurance.
It'd just be changed to a federal-government sanctioned death panel system. Probably with an expected goal of deaths, and if the target isn't being met, methods to be encouraged to bring it about...

It's not how healthcare work in other industrialised countries.
USA isn't other industrialized countries. Any single payer system would be in context of the existing economic and political system, much like Obamacare was in comparison to other countries.
Regardless, I think the answer is transparency, reduced regulations (e.g. removing income tax penalties for just paying people more to then buy their own health insurance), and clear upfront pricing. Those steps should be done before any attempt to further ruin health care even more. Most of the things people hate about health care and insurance are encouraged or enforced by the feds.
Death panels for a captive market, so it's all good.
