Speaking of single-payer I've been browsing the interwebz tonight and many in congress are for single-payer. The public option is the government's foot in the door on this and once in, single-payer will follow. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but someday soon and forever. All ewes need to stop bleating "no it won't" and wake the hell up.
i am not saying it won't zoom, i'm saying it won't unless it proves itself to be just as good as private insurance and for less money than private insurance...consistently for at least 5-10 years....
if this reform reduces costs for private insurance as planned, then the American people, will have no interest in a single payer plan...and there will be no need for a single payer plan for cutting out the middle man costs.
