" I do believe that the cost of single payer would blow everyone's minds." The cost of what we have now is already pretty mind blowing. oecd.org When doctors don't have to spend 100,000 for insurance liability insurance I guess those savings just vaporize? "Not vaporize, just a drop in the bucket." Add in med school debt... Taking the Sting Out of Medical School Debt -

Here's your back of the envelope. 1. Somebody's oxen would be gored, if we went to single payer: insurance companies & drug companies come to mind instantly. 2. Then, doctors' work loads would probably be cut by 40%...just by not constantly having to fill out insurance forms. Hospitals could concentrate on health care, instead of dollar care. Administrative cost would shrink. 3. People would see their doctors more often, instead of emergency rooms. 4. Is Canada or Germany going broke providing health care?
