<<< People often confuse requirements with design. In this case, single payer is design. The requirements are either unidentified or murky. Until we identify the requirements and work through a design process, we shouldn't be advocating for any particular design. The design is the product of analysis, not the objective. It's a terrible, but common mistake. One of the reasons why so many computer systems suck.>>> We know what the requirements are.
