No, Silly Wabbit. If we had single payer, we'd have fully rationed government health care.
we have rationed health care now.. But it's rationed by big corporations looking to make a profit off your misery. Trust me, stupid, you truly haven't lived until you've tried to get an insurance company to pay for a really expensive procedure.
We might pay less (doubtful), but we'd certainly not get health care.
again, the rest of the world has single payer. They live longer, have lower infant mortality rates and spend a lot less per capita. So yeah, I guess it would never work, except for the rest of the world which does it that way.
We'd get the equivalent of a long wait in the DMV line hoping our number gets called before we die of a fatal disease.
Wow, you guys are still using that metaphor? When was the last time you were down at the DMV? Last time I was down was May of this year. I could have done it by mail, but I wanted a more current picture on my ID. They had me in and out in less than 15 minutes. The time previous to that was even less in 2014.
Meanwhile, right next to that is a Comcast office. Whenever I've had to go there, it's usually been a 30 minute wait to talk to someone who was not the least bit helpful.
