The former Congressman revealed Thursday he wants New York City to act as a “single-payer laboratory,†funding employees’ medical expenses directly instead of paying the employees through insurance companies.
As such, Weiner wants city workers to pay 10% of their own salaries for health care—and if they are smokers, a whopping 25%.
He claimed that the savings from this model's first three years could amount to $1 billion, saying, “I refuse to accept that these are non-controllable costs.â€

Weiner definition of Single Payer Healthcare:...... at 25% it sounds like you pay all your own healthcare cost.....thus, single payer.

There can't possibly be any more smokers on the city payroll. There's nowhere to smoke in the city.
Some companies are self-insuring, making themselves to be the single payer. I once worked for a large company who did this. They're finding it far easier than getting embroiled in obozocare.
