[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just been reading about Sanders' plan and it doesn't say anything about what will happen to all the insurance companies if we switch to a single payer system. So what would happen? Would it ruin the economy? [/quote]
If it's Medicare for All, then there would still be optional supplemental insurance plans/companies.  Keeping in mind that Medicare is an 80/20 insurance with co-pays and deductibles.  [b]Medicare also doesn't fully cover prescription drugs[/b][quote]

If it is really full coverage for everything then the government[/b] would have two options.  Keep them as silent partners or let them die.  Either way, it would not ruin the economy.[/quote]

Outside of a hospital stay Medicare doesn't cover prescriptions. [/quote]

I worked for Microsoft during the years we paid $0 for our health care costs.  
$0 co-pays 
$0 for both pregnancies
$0 premiums
$0 for brand drugs
$0 for broken arm
$0 for speech therapy
$0 for physical therapy

ahhhhh.....
those were the days

Even Microsoft, with $60B in the bank could not sustain that.  People took advantage of the system right and left.

Under government control,  costs will be even worse.
