Yes, it is a single payer system. How solvent is Medicare? Medicare does not cover all the expenses either. You still have costs involved. Look at the financial burden for Medicare. Now imagine everyone on the same plan. I'd still like to see full competition between companies, across state lines. Use the same model as Auto Insurance. Remember the premium you pay for Medicare is only a portion of the cost of providing you with Medicare Health Insurance. This is not going to be an easy problem to solve. However I do know one thing. Let the Government take total control and things will not get better. Once established in a Government Program its here forever.
