If you think Medicaid might be a model of single payer, take note: In IL and OH Medicaid programs have run out of money and in some cases have stopped paying providers for services rendered.

”Reliable payment” is not etched in stone.

That’s a good point.

In this case you have states involved.

But reliable payment ceases if Medicare decides to cut you from the program, and that’s where having a single customer is really really bad.
