It's not such a surprise that the American Medical Association is opposed to a single payer plan. Dr. Oliver Fein of Physicians for a National Health Program explains why. What's the best system in his opinion? Medicare 2.0. It's a simple, economical, and humane program that would cut excess costs, a bloated bureaucracy, and all too often inefficient care.

Single payer insurance will not work . As things are doctors over charge , and order unnecessary treatments and raise the charges by large per-centages every year . This would either drive the single payer insurance out of business or they would be as present day insurances . Raise rates to where more people lose insurance . Our Cities , Counties , States , and the US Governments all own and operate clinics and hospitals . Since these governments are already in the health care business why not expand it and allow the uninsured to be treated at these facilities instead of getting in to the insurance business . There is some posibility this could be done without the total approval of Congress . This would also put an end to the insane increases of health care costs and would compare with Canada and other intellegent countries .
