Hawaii health care exchange spent $10,800 per enrollee

For that they could have just bought a everyone a family plan and not wasted time with the stupid exchange.

What a dumb article. Want proof? Consider this closing line:

Not only would single payer cost more, it would deliver inferior results, and we now have exmaples at home to prove it.

How can we have examples of single payer when we don't have single payer?

He explained himself in that article..Did you choose not to read it? I can't believe Mods are so dumb as to let you continue to pull this shite...Unless you are baiting a VA reply, by stating an obvious ignorant omission....

Rex how about giving me an example of a single payer system you like.

Also--what was wrong in your opinion with Ryan's proposal to use vouchers instead of direct government purchase of health are services?? Is that not very near single payer for a large portion of the US?

I read it. The VA is not an example of single payer. The VA exists within a national system of health care that includes private health insurance as its major component, and is affected by that major component. Single payer means exactly that: the government as the SINGLE dominant provider of health care in this country.

Figured you were baiting that response, such an a-hole..

If we had single payer with government hospitals I wonder if Rex would support all the decisions a party in power would make concerning the care such hospitals would provide?

What idiot would want to put such decisions in the hands of government???

Would Rex support only having one choice in health care if those in power decided they would give no care to gays?

Why would anyone think such conflicts would not come up?

I don't want the gov't running my healthcare. Do you realize how stupid that is? Why do people want govt to do everything for them?

Next you will be asking for a govt appointed agent to hold it while you peee and wipe your arse after you crap

When did he say he wanted the government to run our healthcare in this thread?

When did he say he wanted something other than single payer?
