The money will not be used to keep premiums, deductibles, or co-pays low; instead, they will use the money to skirt regulations that are passed and that won't be hard because there is no enforcement mechanism for controlling costs in the current Democratic health insurance enrichment bill.

Finally, a third commenter seems to think single payer advocates expect policymakers will suddenly see the light and pass single payer. That's not how this works.
Unlike the current Democratic Party, single payer advocates aren't just looking to make history and then move along.

Single payer advocates take seriously the idea that healthcare should be a human right, and they are building a movement that will ensure that one day in the next five or ten years Americans no longer have to suffer under our nation's pay-or-die healthcare system.
