Increasing Numbers of Americans Want Single Payer, But Is That What They Want?


A Washington Post/Kaiser Family Foundation poll asked: “Do you support or oppose having a national health plan - or a single-payer plan - in which all Americans would get their insurance from a single government plan?” A slight majority 51% of respondents was in favor of a single payer system.

What the people want is to undo the damage Obamacare has done.....that's what dems do...when they want to take over a private industry they regulate it to death....they pass laws that make it unaffordable or unworkable and then the public cries for a fix....but a government fix is never really a fix is it?......health insurance costs for people without a subsidy has tripled and takes half of their monthly income....the small business owners are having the hardest time... they do not have a wealthy employer covering them in a pool....and that is what Obama wanted...put the little guys out and the big guys with the bucks will donate to ya.....

Thank God Donald Trump won.....

Payer, But Is That What They Want?

Dear BILLSANDS
If that's what this number of people want,
and they believe that a mass centralized system is going to cut the
costs and make it affordable, there is nothing stopping them
from setting up such a centralized system:

If the Democratic Party is the hub pushing for this,
why not use that structure and register all the membership
through that platform, and all the funding as democratically
represented and structured by the people wanting this.

If they really believe it will work.
If they really believe it is worth funding and managing
through a centralized system.
Then by all means, just do it!
Go ahead and set it up, pay for it, formulate
the terms and policies these great numbers of members
believe work for them, and PROVE it works.

Then once it works for a set number of people
democratically and cost effectively,
it can be expanded and replicated
where other people can choose to opt it and
participate or set up their own cooperative programs
with collective benefits and discounts.

No problem.

Just don't expect to take a faith based idea
force it on others without proof
and require them to fund it against their free choice.

When people do this with their religion
it is considered a violation of Constitutional rights
and limits on govt.

Atheists cannot be forced by govt to believe
in faith-based programs much less be FORCED BY LAW to pay for them
against their beliefs.

What makes liberals think their beliefs are magically
the exception to this rule of law and to natural laws of how human free will works!

The same way Atheists may demand proof of why Christianity is a better
system before CHOOSING to participate and/or fund it,
shouldn't all people and all taxpayers have free choice
whether to pay into a system of health care or create their own?

Why is it okay for Democrats to impose some unproven beliefs
about health care through govt, against the equal beliefs and free
choice of others in managing health care independently instead
of through federal govt?
