Health Care: One Payor

It has been clear to me for years that we need a universal healthcare system.  It would be clearly be the only way to reduce the profit motives involved in our current system using private insurers. The system promotes waste.  The Senate and House are struggling with a provision to include a public option that Senator Schumer wanted to make palatable by requiring the public option to meet the same standards as the private, i.e., reduce the ability to lower costs.

Nowhere has this perspective been made more eloquently than the article by Dr. Marcia Angell.
