Your statement is too general in nature. Who "pays" into the system varies wildly depending upon your income, who you work for (public sector versus private sector). union or nonunion, and your age.

You should drop the single payer argument and look at a more equitable way to finance health care first. No one talks about the inequities in how we finance health care, they only insist that "everyone have health insurance"...ie. if you aren't paying into the system we will force you to pay. Look around you, some pay nothing for heir benefit and many pay an extraordinary amount. That's where the inequity exists.

You've got the solution backwards.

corporate profits is what it goes to

in the middle of some of the most prime real estate in Conn
are acres and acres of manicured lawn owned by


a major insurance company
saw it with my own eyes

it was so big they had at least 20 people on riding mowers
mowing it
and took a bit just to drive by it all
it was mind blowing

I know more about it than you may think... A large part of my business is dealing with health insurance. I Insure 17 of my employees And yes it is broken but the government is NEVER the answer when it comes to commerce IMO.... Just look at the Cost of Obamacare without one single person receiving benefits yet... The GAO just doubled its estimates to close to 2 trillion dollars..
