With single-payer, there's zero paperwork, zero red tape, zero out of pocket expenses and zero hoops to jump through.

With the Republican plan your doctor never has a problem dealing with your insurance because you can't afford insurance.

Doctors file Medicare claims. Without claims, all the Democrats will get into the Medicare fraud business.

If that's what they wanted, then why didn't they pass it? They passed the current atrocity without a single bipartisan vote. Public approval obviously didn't matter, as O'care was passed against the will of the people.

They could have done it, if they had wanted to, so your statement isn't backed by reality.

Missed that somehow the first time around. Man, that's funny. If you think that the U.S. federal government can do ANYTHING without paperwork, red tape and hoops to jump through, then you're in SERIOUS need of a good smack with a clue bat.
