2009 Bernie Sanders: "Medicare For All Single payer will eventually prevail"

3. Too literal

They both make a basic reference to control of the insurance system by the federal government. The exact structure is debatable, but ultimately the federal government will control the whole "market" so they can control the costs and methods of health CARE. Personally, I suspect it will be neither by a strict definition of either. I suspect various portions of the population will be handled by various systems depending upon their particular situation. But all the bills will ultimately be paid by the government. (One exception, I suspect the "1%" will always be allowed to spend additional monies to be allowed to be treated "uniquely".)
