I’ve been thinking about the whole single-payer healthcare idea.  which is kinda hard to do since there is a political and media blackout on the idea.

The argument against single-payer universal healthcare is that it will create a bureaucracy that will control medical coverage.

Hello!

Have these people ever dealt with an insurance company when a loved one is seriously ill?  The health insurance companies are bureaucracies unto themselves.  When I heard the nurses union on Democracy Now! talk about endorsing Single-payer universal healthcare because it would create a single standard for all medical care  it hit me.

Doctors are trapped in not one, but hundreds of bureaucracies.  Each health insurance company is its own little duchy through which a doctor must pass each time she wants to treat a patient.  Each health insurance companies has its own set of form.  Each health insurance company has its own set of payments.  Each health insurance company has its own set of rules for treatment.  Each health insurance company has its own set of rules for drugs.  Doctors offices waste a great deal of time trying to figure out who will pay for what, and how to get it done.  It’s time to . . .

so they can go back to treating patient instead of spenidn their days paying tribute to healthcare insurance who take a 25% overhead and don’t provide anything in return.  This insuance company gauging only puts us #1 in the one category of healthcare:  Most expensive in the world. The US is ranked 37th in overall healthcare.  We sit between Costa Rica and Slovena. For instance the C.I.A World Factbook lists the US as having the 44th lowest Infant Mortality rate.  Between Guam and the Faro Islands.  (Yes, that C.I.A..  Not exactly a Socialist organization.)

    Sorry, that’s not “the argument” against nationalized health care. I recognize that this one’s easier for you to argue against, but there are others.
