[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We need single payer health care in this country. People are repeatedly raped and abused by health insurance companies but yet defend them. I do not get it![/quote]

NP here.  +1[/quote]

Y'all need to learn that a single payer system does. For instance, Medicare. Which is oft mentioned. Widely accepted, fair benefits with more first dollar out of hospital than most insurance plans but also no cap on out of pocket expenses.[/quote]

I wonder how much time anyone who advocates for single-payer has spent trying to navigate the Medicare system. It's such a nightmare, just as opaque as private insurance when it comes to figuring out what something will actually cost you and comparing plans. And even with your best efforts, you can still end up paying a fortune out of pocket if you have a major medical event.

And then what happens to the medical providers? Will they be forced to either work for the government or give up the profession, or will they be allowed to accept private payment outside of the single-payer system? The latter seems a bit problematic from a personal liberty and/or equitable standpoint, but the latter basically ensures that medical care will continue to be rationed based on your ability to pay.[/quote]
