It is very hard to understand whey everyone doesn't support a single
payer system in health care. If someone wants to save money, wants to lower
society's overall cost, improve access, then there is no other system.
The only group in our society which does not fear bankruptcy, does not
worry about lifetime cost, does not worry about preexisiting conditions
is that of those over 65. So what we should do is strengthen and enhance
Medicare, not gut it, or equally bad, privatize it, as a small but very
vocal minority wants to do.
It's all spelled out in the book 1984.
