Single payer on the other hand would cost less than we are overpaying now — and cover everyone.
Zero uninsured.
As Dr. Angell puts it — single payer is not only the best option.
It’s the only option that will both control costs and cover everyone.
Replace 1,300 insurance industry payers with one payer.
Save $400 billion a year in bloated corporate administrative and executive compensation costs.
Free choice of doctor and hospital.
Use that money to insure everyone.
No bills, no co-pays, no deductibles.
No exclusions for pre-existing conditions — because under single payer, you are insured from the day you are born.
No bankruptcies due to medical bills.
No deaths due to lack of health insurance.
Cheaper. Simpler. More affordable.
Everybody in. Nobody out.
According to recent polls, the majority of Americans, the majority of doctors, the majority of nurses, even the majority of health economists want single payer.
That’s why almost every health care town hall event I hear about is dominated by citizens speaking out for single payer.
