A single-payer plan would help businesses more than this health care bill would.
You would also see people leaving jobs that they were just hanging on to just for the health care benefits and they could afford to break out and start their own small business.
The Health Care Bill would include a single payer plan... the govt... which is the main objective of the Bill.
Which health care plan are you looking at?
I am a fan of H.R. 676 which is a single-payer bill in the House. This is NOT the bill Democrats are working hard to pass. Please don't believe the right-wind media when they tell you this plan is a "government" plan or "single-payer" because it couldn't be any further from that.
It will be a distribution of American's tax dollars to private health insurance companies.
Sure there is an increase in Medicaid but that's just a pittance compared to the money health insurance companies can reap when the government starts giving subsidies. You can't forget the mandate either.
This is nothing but a giveaway to health insurance companies.
Single payer plan as an option along with private insurance... would bring down premiums.
I don't disagree but you're missing the point that the bill the Democrats are trying to pass is not single-payer.
I favor a single-payer system that would allow people to buy private health insurance if they want it. There should be some sort of choice.
