So don't give Americans healthcare, because you won't make as much money on pharma stocks? The person who wrote this, Jonathan Yates, made his living as a in-house counsel for a healthcare firm...no wonder he doesn't want to rock the boat.

Thatnks USA Today for todays chapter on bull crap journalism. We are far from having the best healthcare system in the world and far from number one in patient outcomes. You should mark articles like this with “paid content”

Actually single payer would help reform the overpriced cost of healthcare.

In other words we the people are better off allowing the health insurance for profit industry to make the laws and our health care decisions for us because our government isn't equipped to let us do it for ourselves.

I won't read the opinion piece, because it doesn't comport with the facts. Every other industrialised nation, has universal, single payer health care, distributed in any number of ways, but all administered for less of their GDP than the US. Every. Single. One.

Nope. A single payer system would wipe out the middle man and pool all the resources of 360 million people into an extremely efficient insurance scheme like Social Security which is massively successful.
-
Social Security has about 32 TRILLION dollars in unfunded liabilities... with projections only increasing over time.
-
Fake news. The liabilities are not from the massive surplus of funding of Social Security nor the outlay on claims but from the government borrowing from SS to fund massive deficits to cut taxes for the 1%

Well that is just simply not true.https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2016/08/08/social-securitys-looming-32-trillion-shortfall.html …

They've been raiding the Social Security surplus since the Reagan Administration to subsidize tax cuts for the uber rich. Now since 2010 the payroll taxes aren't showing surplus and they will be selling the T-bills off.

What all this means is that SS has been an incredibly successful program to help Americans save for retirement through their payroll. We pay into it when we work. The gov't has been raiding it to hide the deficits to help cut taxes for the super rich. Everyone knows this.
