Single-payer would be disastrous for US

Posted

Your commentary about Steven Brill’s article in Time Magazine about American healthcare was interesting but suspiciously biased.  You explained various issues with a subtle but clear preference for your long-standing belief that Medicare can be easily and efficiently expanded.  You also insist that only a single-payer healthcare program will solve all of our past, present and future problems. 

Barack Obama agrees with you ..... eroding any confidence in your basic premise.

I wish I was more learned to provide specific arguments to refute your one-sided and incomplete examination of present day healthcare problems and contradictions.  There are no easy solutions but I know one thing ....... allowing government to control our individual and ... nation’s healthcare will become our worst decision of the 20th and 21st Centuries ....... exceeding even the Viet Nam, Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
