Show us the math first, and then we can discuss if the beans are too tough.

We know how single-payer, in theory works. Now Sanders' has the opportunity to tell us, in detail, how his policy will be implemented. This is a fair, adult question to ask a candidate who is running for president. And if he can't explain it to rank and file Democrats, then he will NEVER be able to sell it to a much more conservative crowd in the GE. I speaks directly to his electability, IMO.
