I wouldn`t believe this to be the actual details, since the document clearly says it`s prepared by the League of Women Voters of Arizona. There will be a bias in the preparation and interpretation of the actual information, but that`s just what I believe.

Beliefs aside, it`s a fact that single-payer is more efficient and provides universal coverage -- numerous nations have adopt it, and all of them spend less GDP and have a better mortality rate than the USA.

Sadly, it`s asking too much of America to make such a dramatic shift from private insurer to single-payer. Public option is the best we can hope for now, but ideally it`ll be a step towards single-payer in due time. There is an amendment to the bill that will allow states to start their own single-payer system should they so choose, which is exactly how Canada`s began.

Healthcare is broken and needs to be fixed...but giving the government more power is not the answer.

I was not aware of that. Thanks for pointing it out.

Bluelight & sh0wtyme: How do you propose to "reform" health care, then, without gov`t action? That`s what "reform" means. Health care without gov`t is exactly what we have now, and you both agree it doesn`t work. Single-payer does not give gov`t "more power," it just hands them the bill. Increased regulation of private insurers IS an increase in gov`t power, and will result in worse abuses than even today. Seriously, what ARE you proposing, then?
