I Am A Republican … Can We Talk About A Single Payer System?

[Cleita]

37. Now that you explained what you were thinking.

My point was that since single payer throws most of the business of delivering health care into the private sector with the govt. only managing the administrative side of it and regulating it (which it does anyway) it's a middle of the road compromise that the Libertarian and Republican right wing shouldn't object to it since universal health care has become inevitable. This ACA isn't going to cut it in the long run and any intelligent conservative should see that. The raping and pillaging of the sick, the poor and those who actually do the work of delivering health care will have to come to an end and actually those conservatives should be embracing single payer because they still will have a cut in it. Otherwise, one of these days the medical establishment is going to rebel and watch us go to a completely government national health care system and there will be no privatized medicine anymore except maybe for cosmetic or esoteric purposes.
