Will Medicare Supplements Disappear Due To A Single Payer System?

I keep hearing that the USA will eventually have to move to a single payer system within 10 years.

    No, Medicare has been a single payer system for years.  If anything, with possible cuts to some Medicare Advantage Plans, Medicare Supplements will become more popular.  There is talk about changing the structure of some of the better plans to allow for more copay's.  Supposedly a person paying for a comprehensive Medicare supplement plan is "over utilizing" Medicare.  But Medicare Supplements are here to stay.
