Am I the only one who wants Single Payer?

15. why don't we just call it national health care?

"Single-payer" can mean whatever one wants it to mean (ie: the single payer being the government or the single payer being you or the single payer being an insurance company middle-man). Besides, the average Joe/Jane off the street is not likely going to know what the hell "single-payer" is. Just call it national health care which anyone can understand that it means everyone pays X amount of tax or no tax at all to the government for health care, and the government then supplies all citizens with whatever their health care needs are. Government owned and run hospitals, nursing homes, rehab clinics, etc. as well. No private for profit rubbish making a mint off the backs of sick and injured people. And for heaven's sake make dental care part of medical care. The only reason that it was separated is because dental care is hugely expensive and pretty much everyone needs it and needs it far more frequently than the average person needs medical care.
