Single Payer Health Insurance
Seems like a decent idea to me and the idea has been floating around for quite a while ( I think Bernie Sanders talked about it ).
Would like to start a discussion on this forum regarding that subject.
To my knowledge, many countries have it and it works.
Yes--I have heard horror stories about it and have heard it is NOT working in Canada. BUT--I have talked with Canadian citizens that are happy with it.
Seems to me like it would work a lot like medicare--and I don't have a problem with that.
Yes--it would be a "government run" program and I have heard the complaint calling it by that "bad name" of socialized medicine. I'm not sure socialized medicine is such a bad thing.
One thing I do know is that EVERY citizen SHOULD be covered by good health insurance.
My guess is I am going to hear from a lot of people
with different opinions--but it should be a learning experience for all of us.
I was recently told by a retired doctor that, in his opinion, it "is the way to go".
Your thoughts?
