Yes, the goal of universal health coverage doesn't need to require single payer ehrnst Oct 2016 #30

No. A single payer system is essential. Anderson agrees. kristopher Oct 2016 #36

The point of your article is the same as it always is, to misrepresent the idea and role of SP. kristopher Oct 2016 #33

I guess that's one way to try discredit something that you don't agree with ehrnst Oct 2016 #34

You are misrepresenting the meaning of Anderson's writing. kristopher Oct 2016 #37
