Who will be running this “single payer” system anyway? Will it be insurance companies or government employed insurance agents.
Anyone know how the Brits and Canadians administer their programs?
Here's a good, overall description of the Brit system - coming to a country near you....
The government's hold over medical practice in Britain is becoming ever firmer; it now dictates conditions of work and employment, the number of hours worked, the drugs and other treatments that may be prescribed and the way in which doctors must be trained. Doctors are less and less members of a profession; instead, they are production workers under strict bureaucratic control.
