The other reason why it could happen under republicans is that single payer healthcare would be a major boon to most other businesses other than health insurance companies and other healthcare system leeches, and those businesses have said so.

Nah, I don't see that as outweighing Republican ideology against the government providing public services. It has a chance under Republicans because they'll be the ones under which the people can be mobilized to force them to do it. Never because they want to.
