Duane and others
As I also said in my earlier post it is a political
decision. The direction will change when employers understand that a single payer
system, as I described earlier, will save them money, improve healthcare for
their employees and the nation. There are far more employers than insurance
companies and with considerable more political clout. The gap is in the
leadership to present a plan, gain public and political acceptance, eliminating
the focus on those just at the bottom of the economic ladder, to recognize that
it affects everyone and last but not least that the solution does not need to
be complex. Whoever steps up to the plate, Republican, Democrat or Green and
has the oratory skills to frame it to the people in simple understandable terms
should make huge inroads in the getting it done.
Unfortunately I don’t see anyone on
the national scene that currently has the talent to get it done!

Going to a single payor system is totally a political
decision. We, the people, have the choice to elect people who will work
for the single payor system. I don't think that Gil Gutknecht is someone
who will work for that system. I would also guess that Senator Coleman
would not favor a single payor system. One can only guarantee that these
two will work against a single payor system and support the insurance and drug
industries.
