re: #130 Decatur Deb

Your assessment could be correct but I doubt our side is that fiendishly clever.

You don’t have to be fiendishly clever to see that we are already doing single payer by attrition. If you combine Medicare, Medicaid and the VA the federal govt already pays for more than half of all medical costs in the country. You throw in a Medicaid expansion and I wouldn’t be surprised if the government was paying for 75% of all health care costs in 10-15 years.
