>> It'll be even better when we go to single payer. This is the usual claim from the ignorant left. The reality is that single payer is what Medicare is and it is a total fiscal disaster. And Medicare could not exist at all were it not for subsidies from private insurance companies. What old people don't understand about Medicare is that it simply doesn't pay enough money to attract health care providers. If all we had was Medicare (and Medicaid), we would have the worst health care system in the developed world because hospitals would go broke and no thinking person would become a doctor because the cost (personal and financial) is too high for the potential return. I'm writing this to you as though you were a thoughtful adult, but I understand you're not. So, no need to reply with your bumbling bullshit. For some reason, I feel the need to try to inform you but all indications is you haven't the slightest understanding of how life works.
