EDIT: Weird… the link to the post I’m replying to is missing. Well, this is it here by @lolipop_jones
(1) having the most state-of-the-art technologies and medications universally available.
A single payer system is not only completely compatible with both, but will reduce costs for medications as well:
(2) immediate access to all of the above, no waiting.
That’s a mighty disingenuous false argument you’ve propped up there. No American in their right mind thinks “no waiting” exists in any system.
But, while we’re on the topic, you’re merely parroting corporatist drivel about wait times:
Single payer does not equal increased wait-times
(3) as much office time as they want with the best doctors, no gatekeepers to limit physician access.
That’s yet another mighty disingenuous false argument you’ve propped up there. No American in their right mind thinks they can have unlimited office time in any system. That’s not feasible in any form of reality on this Earth.
But, once again, you’re parroting corporatist talking points instead of focusing on reality:
The government pays for care that is delivered in the private (mostly not-for-profit) sector. This is similar to how Medicare works in this country. Doctors are in private practice and are paid on a fee-for-service basis from government funds. The government does not own or manage medical practices or hospitals.
(4) freedom to sue without limit any time something goes wrong.
That’s a mighty disingenuous false argument you’ve propped up there, again. Why resort to such drivel? No American in their right mind thinks everyone should receive settlements that are infinite for any reason anything “goes wrong”.
Also, please educate yourself on how malpractice costs will be reduced under single payer:
That’s untrue. The more the single payer system is explained and understood by average Americans, the more they want the system and that includes being willing to pay for it with their taxes (obviously).
Also, please educate yourself further on the topic of taxes in regards to paying for it:
I don’t blame you for parroting so many corporatist talking points. It’s been proven to be systematically disseminated to the public. If you watch this damning interview in full below, you’ll be shocked to see how many of your talking points were actually fed to you by industry:
Very similar to how the corporatists were very successful in reframing the McDonald’s Hot Coffee lawsuit for decades to suit their needs. But, eventually, with enough hard work and fortitude… the truth slowly comes out.
