It's called 'single payer', and as I remember, it's socialist................at least according to the true defenders of the faith , the rightwing ...............not to mention more than a few right here on this here board.

Sometimes I wonder if still, after all this time, half of the posters don't have a damn clue about what is 'single payer', what is 'public option', and as for the term 'govt. run', it seems to be defined as anything they want it to be.

Saw a PO will be in the Senate bill now....................... grin


Single payer in my book means you pay one provider and you have no choice in the matter. I still have a choice-- so far. Maybe you wrote the bill huh? Actually it means the gov. or government entity collects the money and pays the bills.
