HR676 - The Single Payer Solution, Part 3 of 4

Healthcare companies take 1 out of every 3 dollars. So the ones that do not come up with new medicine or treat people medically make as much or more money as those who do.

"Here's what the CBO stated"

Congressmen? You mean all those people who pocket hundreds of thousands of dollars every year from HMOs?

Dude, stand up and be a CITIZEN, for God's sake. Stop volunteering to be bleating fodder for the wolves of the insurance industry.

"I hoping that when people read this blog, they see the insanity of a single payer system."

I live in a single-payer system. My dad was saved from a stroke last year by a single-payer system. He didn't have to wait; he didn't have to pay or lose his home or his savings. No one cut his coverage because he was now a liability. Now if you consider any or all of that insane, well, all I can say is, bring on the straight jackets... one for every citizen for the United States.

Single payer or die broke!
Headstorm follow up interview those denied medical care.

Single payer is a payment system. Everyone in, everybody pays a payroll tax, 3.3%. No high premiums, no deductibles, no co-pays. no more in network doctors or hospital bull go anywhere you want, see any doctor you want. Everyone's covered, lose job, covered, move out of state?, covered. Get cancer, you're covered. No denials. How can Walmart sell $4.00 drugs, they have a big pool, who has a bigger pool? We the people of the USA. What service does insurance provide for their 31% cut?

that's the best way i've seen the single-payer system described...
thanks for informing people on this really important issue..

December, 2007: Kansas

Single Payer would save $869 million

The Kansas Health Policy Authority hired the consulting firm of Schramm-Raleigh to do a fiscal analysis of five options for expanding coverage. They found that single payer (the Mountain plan) would cover all the uninsured and reduce state health spending by $869 million annually. The other plans would cover a portion of the uninsured and would raise costs between $150 million to $500 million in the state.

It is kind of amazing some "people" think health costs are like buying a car or any other commercial proposition (eg: all the insurance co-sponsored posts on Youtube by varying "people"). You can plan to buy a car or a house: it's your own responsibility and your money allocation--but you can't plan a medical affliction. Not the same. I simply note one anti-health plan person on Ytube had her two fave videos as a) a revolver shooting into a tank, and b) a clip of Milton F'man on "Greed". True!!
