Speak Your Piece: Single-payer universal healthcare is best option
"The Republican approach is to make health care and health insurance market based. Free it up for competition between private, for-profit providers and that will solve the cost control problem. I think that's entirely appropriate for things like buying a TV, a car, a home, etc. For matters of necessity like police and fire protection — and healthcare — I'm not convinced that's the proper approach. I've come to believe for matters such as healthcare and health insurance, a single payer, universal system is the simplest and most effective approach."
