Let us all resolve to eschew the term ‘single payer.’

What statists mean is SINGLE PROVIDER i.e. strict socialized medicine.

The PAYERS (plural) will be the same as usual - the dwindling productive sector.

Not quite true. In Canada, doctors and clinics are still individual enterprises. But the only way they can get paid is through the "single payer" health plan in that Province. A very small shade of difference, I grant you. Not much benefit in being an independent enterprise if you can be blackmailed by those who control your sole source of income.
