Insurance is supposed to be for an event that is somewhat likely to occur, but obviously everyone has some healthcare needs. The term insurance is fairly misleading.
In a lot of ways with healthcare we have a lot of good problems. By that I mean it is more complicated and expensive because there are a lot more and better options available. Back in the day it was much simpler and cheaper, but they also couldn't do a lot for you.Originally posted by BobbyBrady

Originally posted by Drew S. View PostI just think it would be a much better system. In my opinion way too much time and effort gets spent in today's world jockeying around money and paperwork. I would hope that in a single payer system some of that would be either minimized or eliminated.
Or, the government would contract with existing insurers to run/manage the payment system.
Either way, I just don't see the paperwork or the money-shuffling to get any better.
When I think "single payer" I think just north of where I am.
Enjoy the reading, because it isn't all duckies and bunnies at 49N+ either.

Just as important- instead of the goal of making as much money for shareholders, the people doing the healthcare system will be more motivated to keep people healthy- to minimize output. Priorities change. This may not be more specifically more efficient, but it probably would churn less.
It's funny when people talk about Canada- as if they are an example of how bad a single payer system can be. Our system has huge delays in service, too. And many people struggle to get timely service, too. Every complaint Canada have, we have too- many times far more of it. But there's another thread for this discussion.

Originally posted by trixR4kids View PostRight, I'm more curious as to what the whole process was. Did Obama push single payer first, it didn't pass, and then have to compromise to get to ACA/Obamacare?What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

this is a great piece from Ted Williams that I saw online about all the hunters who are upset about federal land being opened for drilling and mining.
"Hunters and anglers say they are astonished and outraged. But without their support, Trump wouldn't be president and Zinke wouldn't be running Interior. If sportsmen read newspapers instead of hook-and-bullet rags, they'd have understood that state seizure of public lands is a plank in the GOP platform and that state lands get sold off or reserved for extractive industry."

Originally posted by Handyman View PostI know a few who support it. Hell most of the conservative business owners I know are all for it because they hate work based insurance. Free thinking conservatives (whats left of them anyways) get that while it sucks on a tax basis the pros far outweight the cons.
Plus, the single payer means that every doctor is in play for patients. As opposed to now- where the #1 choice is who you choose for coverage, and doctors must be part of that system.
So if one can ignore that it's a tax and it starts by going to the government, it should be cheaper and more flexible vs what we have.
But that's another thread.

The worst kept secret of the past week has been made official.
Great timing, too.
Oh, and Gorka has resigned.
