Intentionally, it leads to “single payer”. Commies win again. There are traitors in our midst...they are our “leaders”.
I call social democrats on their moronic use of the term “single payer”. There isn’t a single payer system in the world outside of Cuba, North Korea, and a few other totalitarian states whose idea of medical innovation is experimenting on political prisoners.
“Single payer” Canada has a public/private expenditure split of 70/30, and “single payer” UK is 83/17. “Single payer” China is 55/45. Meanwhile, the “radical free market” US is 47/53.
Even in a “single payer” system, affluent people pay out of pocket for a higher grade of care. “Single Payer” systems simply codify and emphasize the distinction is quality of care and outcomes in the two tiers of their respective health systems.
