Summary
The immorality of allowing Americans to go without healthcare in America is self-evident. Less evident is the sound economic sense it would make for the nation. Single-payer universal healthcare would save money for all of us. Greed, fraud, waste, abuse, and corruption are incompatible with a rational, well-conceived and efficiently implemented healthcare system. The biggest myth constraining movement to a single-payer universal healthcare system has been perpetrated upon employers. They have been coopted and manipulated into opposing single-payer by vested interests acting to sustain and proliferate the status quo. Inadvertently or purposefully, they have accepted their healthcare finance and service vendors' so-called leadership, misinformation, and massaged data.
Analysis
Every conceivable healthcare product and service producer would benefit from a single-payer universal healthcare system. The volume of services and products consumed by
Americans would increase dramatically with the additional covered lives. Cash flow would improve with the government as the payment guarantor. Profit margins would shrink, but overall net profits would increase with volume expansion.
Single-payer universal healthcare is a no-brainer for independent thinkers. It is anathema to those who have been misled for decades about the design and structure of a publicly-funded, privately-delivered healthcare system.
The debate to date has been devoid of 95% of the facts both employers and the general public should have to be well-informed. It would be disastrous if this enlightenment remains unavailable to those genunely interested in removing the enormous healthcare cost burden from their operating expenditures. It is unconscionable for the nation to sustain and proliferate the elements of a dysfunctional healthcare system, which an insurance-based model will most certainly do.
