Ben Jealous, a former N.A.A.C.P. president and an ally of Mr. Sanders who backs single-payer health care, as their nominee for governor. …
Can someone explain what the hell single-payer health care means?
Now you or your employer pays premiums and the insurance company pays the doctors.
Under their plan, you pay the taxes and the government pays the doctors.
Its the same structure, how is it single-payer? Perhaps saying Government Health Care scares people away?
The last thing you ever want to be is a line item on the government ledger.
“Single Payer” means “Taxpayer Only.” Cronyist insurance companies contracted with the government (and “insurance” in name only; they are really front groups for corruption at this point) really love this, because it means they can really jack up the prices and you schmucks with lunchpail jobs have to pay a greater amount of your income than any other group, and finally, the government assigns ALL medical care, and you don’t get to keep your doctor nor your plan. If you are old, they will not give you an operation or a procedure that they routinely do on most insurance plans.
That’s “single payer.” Think of it as VA on steroids.
