Wow, check out this comment on existing U.S. single-payer system

17. Oh,

"Well, its obvious you've been struggling for while, especially staying on topic and responding with relevant comments,
so I went Pre-School in the title line to give you a break."

...the only ones "struggling" are the anti-Obama vultures. Progress keeps happening despite them. They can't stand the thought that the health care law is working to help millions of people. They cannot stand the thought of President Obama getting credit for anything.

Anyone who stands up to support him or undercut their arguments finds a knife in their backs.

To that point and your previous comment:

"I just have to laugh at someone showing up four years after the fight and saying,
WOW. Did you know we already HAVE effective Single Payer Systems Up & Running?

Where were you and the NY Times when it might have made a difference?"

...here:

While Cigna will continue providing insurance to large businesses, it has not proposed any plans for the exchange. The member-owned Vermont Health Co-op, on the other hand, would sell insurance on the exchange, if the state approves its application for a license. The co-op has already received its federal health insurers’ license and has filed proposed rates with the Department of Vermont Health Access, but it cannot propose rates to the Department of Financial Regulation until it obtains a state license.

Vermont also intends to be the first state in the U.S. with a single-payer health-care system, in which the government pays all of its residents’ medical bills and insurance companies are unnecessary. The state legislature passed a law in 2011 to steer the state toward adopting such a system in 2017, the soonest possible under the federal health-care law.
