First of all, I think that under a Single-Payer Universal Healthcare they guy who thought he was indestructible until he ended up in the emergency room, that guy's hospital visit would be covered by a universal healthcare system whether he wanted to or not, and we, the taxpayers, would end up paying as much for his emergency room call, as we would for anyone else who had accepted the mandated insurance . I also think that our taxes are put to much better use when they do that, than when they are used for invasions and occupations, bank bail outs, and welfare to the rich.

As stated by Physicians for a National Health Program,

"A single-payer system would be financed by eliminating private insurers and recapturing their administrative waste. Modest new taxes would replace premiums and out-of-pocket payments currently paid by individuals and business. Costs would be controlled through negotiated fees, global budgeting and bulk purchasing."

The problem for you, Mr. President, is, as you well put it, single-payer would eliminate private insurers.

You and the politicians want to stand by the insurance companies, despite your lip service of wanting to stand by us.

That is just darn inexcusable.

Bill Maher says it best.
