health care system in California dimmed Friday when the leader of the state Assembly announced he doesn't plan to take up the single-payer bill this year.

I've been called a racist, hater, lair, Nazi, crazy, evil, scary, extremist, violent, stupid, homophobe, Islamaphobe, and fear monger (among other things) for telling people this would happen.  Why am I not surprised this is coming out now?  You have no idea how bad I wanted to be proved wrong.  Sigh. http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/conyers-health-care-law-platform-single Conyers: Obamacare Is ‘Platform’ for Creating Single-Payer System ...

Single Payer For AllJul 26, 2017
If we really want single payer it makes sense to include items that will reduce the cost for everyone. 1. We need to remove malpractice insurance and malpractice lawsuits. If we left these in place we'd force doctors to practice defensive medicine. Anyone complaining of intercostal muscle strain must be kept overnight in the hospital and submit to a battery of tests to rule out a heart problem. 2. Speaking of heart problems... Most of those are due to a bad diet (not to mention obesi ...

Physicians For Single PayerJul 24, 2017
The program would be funded by the savings obtained from replacing today’s inefficient, profit-oriented, multiple insurance payers with a single streamlined, nonprofit, public payer, and by modest new taxes based on ability to pay. Premiums would disappear; 95 percent of all households would save money. Patients would no longer face financial barriers to care such as co-pays and deductibles, and would regain free choice of doctor and hospital. Doctors would regain autonomy over patient care. ...

I am horrified at what is happening in Wisconsin and many other states.  There has been a systemic effort to take away our rights and this is just the latest. If you are a working medical transcriptionist you know only too well about the cuts to wages and benefits.  The corporate policies (using political influence) have offshored work, cut wages and benefits, driven workers into unemployment, so that the remaining workers will  grasp at any reduced wages and benefits that might ...

Health Insurance Is A Poor Measure Of Health Care.Sep 14, 2011
On Tuesday, the Census Bureau released its annual report on health insurance coverage in the United States. News media widely misconstrued the data and presented the problems facing the nation's health care system through a distorted lens. Many major news outlets made a basic error when reporting on the Census Bureau study. The Los Angeles Times wrote that "the number of Americans with no health insurance rose in 2010 to 49.9 million from 49 million the year before." But the figure c ...
