3) No one. You go to a facility and it would be covered...
4) Canada's problems aren't because of single-payer. They are because they haven't invested the resources into their healthcare system to make it run properly.
Appreciate the "answers".
1) So in design I would have to pay more for the same coverage if I have a job and/or one that pays well. Not sure I'm a fan of that.
2) Yeah, that answer really isn't one
3) So I have no choice of my healthcare provider. Not sure I'm a fan of it.
4) IDK, they seemed to suggest it was because of the system; they couldn't see a specialist to get the care or procedures necessary for an knee injury.
Seems folks are just saying this single payer system is the way to go without fully understanding/exploring it and I have no idea how a report like that listed in the OP can have any validity with the numerous assumptions and it appears that's one thing Bernie and I agree one.
BTW, I'm retired Military and as such am authorized care at Military Treatment Facilities at no cost. Would single payer change that?
I believe everyone should be entitled to healthcare. I simply believe more options should be available if you have earned them and/or pay for them. I'm against someone unemployed receiving the same health coverage as an employed individual does. It removes one of the motivations to seeks employment.
