There's this guy, Obama, dunno if you've heard of him he's kind of a big deal, and he's said on a couple occasions he's in favor of a single-payer system. And there are several republicans and democrats who have voted previously for a single-payer system.
And yes there are many who do not have access to the health care system in the states which I find troubling, but I don't see how you could describe it as "imploding" unless you are referring to medicare which will be bankrupt soon if we don't do something about it. The private sector still makes a profit, it can sustain itself and continue to be the epicenter for development of new drugs and new advances in technology.
Just sayin'
Taking some random private interest saying that the system is imploding as professional opinion of what is actually happening is retarded, Just sayin'
That's like listening to Enron CEO's assuring everything is just fine and dandy, Just sayin'
For having such high quality health care at less than 50% costs per head, all while being more accessible and better coverage for every person, including those expensive 10% of critical cases that end up being half of the country's health care costs, no matter their income or employment status or previous history of illnesses that would leave their families to bankrupting themselves in the US, seems to be working just fine and rather effectively. Not to mention that our country isnt $10 trillion in debt. Just sayin'
Considering facts or understanding how shit works would be stupid. Thinking that making a 10,000% profit margin on overprescribed ADD pills, pharmaceutical companies making huge incentives for doctors to give out pills like candy, and claiming schooling and roads is a right while access to health care would destroy a country is most definitely the way to go.
