I already knew that. Ask me how much I spend every year on my Mom's meds because of the incredibly stupid donut hole.  Tell me how that coverage helps her get the doctor she wants when so many are not accepting any new Meidicare patients.  Tell me how that coverage gives her any choices in her health insurance.  Answer is they don't.  How about giving us a choice?  How about allowing the individual to buy their own insurance or pay into Medicare their whole life and then get their lousy coverage.  And tell me how all this will fix the pending bankruptcy of Medicare as it is wildly underfunded.

Single payer in the U.S. is not the answer. If you want to see what single payer will be look at the VA because all that means is every doctor and hospital will become a govt contractor/employee.  Yeah, the VA really gives me comfort in single payer.  And besides, even the left wing nuts in California have figured out they can't do single payer......it's too expensive.  Well duh!  Apparently they have figured out something completely unknown to you.
