Considering how big Walmart has become, where is the competition? How many businesses were put out of business by Walmart? As I said, it is normal for the big to get bigger. It doesn't take a government to do this, it is normal. Yes, you keep redefining your point as I keep showing you that your point is incorrect. You conveniently push aside both deductions for personal debt interest and welfare to work because they show that your original point is incorrect. How do you know that few people would want true single payer? Most people in the US do not know what single payer is, how it would benefit them, how it would change their coverage, how it would affect the health system, etc. You are just making this up. What is good insurance? Even big company insurance plans have limitations on lifetime coverage and aren't portable. We don't have to have lowest common denominator insurance whatever that is, we can have good health care for all. What would be better coverage than health care for all? What specifically would people want to buy? We pay more than every other industrialized nation for coverage and we don't even cover everyone. The current system is UNAFFORDABLE so saying that we can't have this or that hypothetical system is immaterial at this point. We must have a new system because what we have is not very good and is getting much worse. Why are you protecting the private insurance industry? What right do they have to exist if they cannot provide good services at a competitive price? They are cherry picking their customers and their customers' diseases and disorders. What use is that to us? The Canadians aren't paying anywhere near what we pay per capita and THEY COVER EVERYONE. If they paid more their system wouldn't be having as many problems. On top of which, our system is in terrible shape so I wouldn't be pointing fingers at anyone but us. Do you see Canadians wanting to adopt our system? So you approve of Healthnet canceling policies after their customers get sick and are in the midst of being sick? That is your idea of a good system?
