Single-payer health care would remove corporate influence

Post Dispatch Letter to the Editor - November 24, 2015

In the ongoing health care debate, Hillary Clinton has asserted she wants to expand the Affordable Care Act. The ACA has been promoted as more choices for consumers.

What choice? The ACA protects corporate influence not public interest, limits the network of doctors which limits access, imposes high deductibles and makes underinsurance the norm. Not everyone can afford the Gold Standard of the ACA. Health insurance companies seek profit not health coverage or “affordable care.”

Presently, the U.S. spends twice as much as other industrialized countries but has poorer health outcomes. Underinsurance only worsens health while bankrupting families. We pay more with costs being pushed onto the patient but get less care while the health care industry’s profits are protected. Administrative costs and drug spending have grown astronomically. The ACA will increase insurance overhead by $266 billion over 10 years, according to research.

A single-payer system would expand Medicare to cover everyone from cradle to grave. Deductibles and co-pays would be minimized or eliminated, and administrative costs would be a fraction of their present amount. Improved Medicare for all would not restrict one’s choice of doctors.

It is time to educate others about single-payer, stand up for health and free ourselves of corporate imprisonment. The single-payer system is not a government takeover. It is empowerment of people.
