“Everybody knows” is almost always a lie. It’s a staple of leftist propaganda.
You don’t need private competition in a single payer plan.
There could be things like “single premium payer” but where the premium goes is still an option... kind of a school voucher mentality.
Though I’d sooner get the government out and get genuine charities into it.
I was being nice instead of just bluntly saying, “you’d have to be an idiot not to understand that ‘universal coverage’ can only ultimately lead one place: single payer full-blown socialized medicine.”
