Merrill Matthews, executive director of the Council for Affordable Health Insurance writes a letter to the Kansas City Star:

In single-payer systems such as Britain’s, taxpayers pay higher taxes for universal health coverage and the government pays most of their medical bills.

Now as well all know, HR 676, Medicare for All, is based on the CANADIAN system in which patients select their doctors and the government pays ALL the bills. The government does not run the health care system, it just pays the bills. It would be like Medicare without the Medigap policies. The insurance industry would stay in business by insuring cars, property, life, and many other insurance products. But they would no longer be permitted to suck money out of the health care system of our country.

Have you written a letter to the editor of your local paper? Because we are going to have to work very hard to counter the coming disinformation campaign.

Lance Dickie writing for the Seattle Times:

Single-payer health insurance is about who pays the bills, not who provides the medical care. Instead of having private insurance, everyone pays into a common fund. Nothing about the health-care-delivery system changes.

No one is employed by the government except the people who write the checks. Call it Medicare for everyone. Instead of waiting until age 65 for decent medical care, everyone — everyone — has access to a doctor.
