Title: A thought about Single Payer
Post by: Chris_ on November 04, 2010, 12:07:41 AM

It occurs to me that "Single Payer Health Care" is a glaring misnomer. If EVERYONE is forced to pay for everyone else's illnesses and injuries, how is that "Single Payer"?

A single SOURCE of payment for EVERYONE'S healthcare costs - the federal government - those that pay taxes.
