Obama just launched single payer health care in the US

[UCmeNdc]

Did you notice? Did you see what happened when everyone was complaining about a website? Single-payer got started in America.

Vermont is using authority granted under the Affordable Care Act to start a single-payer system. Most Americans still don't know what the phrase "single-payer" even means. It had little support in Congress in 2009 and Senate "Democrats" like Nelson and Lieberman even killed the public option. But, ACA had this sweet little provision that allowed states to set up a single-payer system and now people will see it in action. You know what that means.

3. We already did - this was posted and debated at least once already

Giving Big Insurance at least 20% of 3 trillion dollars is not "launching single payer" in any way shape, or form.

4. +1

It never ceases to amaze me how some people on this board think that GingrichCare is going to morph into single-payer.

5. We will see it done at the state level

That will best follow,the success of the approach elsewhere.

6. yes, in vermont you need to see a Doctor or hospital you just go, there is NO CHARGE.

That's the kind of healthcare all Americans should have instead of throwing trillions of our federal funds at wars and stupid homeland spying.

7. I dislike headlines written like this

The way it's written all the credit and praise goes to the President and none to the legislators in Vermont who wrote the bill, voted yes, and signed it into law. The ACA (which the President didn't write) may have contained the provision but it took the people of Vermont to turn it into reality.
