Single payer COULD cut cost and improve care but there are 2 fundamental issues. 1. All plans proposed have placed the Sec of HHS in charge of the program. You can't have a political appointee in that position and it's hard to de-politiicize HC in this country 2. They assume that they can get providers and specialists to accept whatever rates they set. You are talking about organizations that in most cases, don't even know their costs. Why ? They don't want to know their costs. For lots of reasons to long to dig into here Proponents of M4A have to first get hospitals to the point where they can define all their costs and do a Bill of Materials for procedures. You can't negotiate a price for all Americans if you don't know what your costs are It's Shark Tank 101. So we get a stalemate. Politicians don't do the work needed. Hospitals and providers avoid the work needed Other countries started on their path to universal care decades and decades ago. When healthcare was much simpler technically and fiscally. If senators won't support the Break Up Big Medicine Bill or anything comparable , there is no chance of getting to single payer. Our politicians don't have the backbone to do what is needed. You can call out all but Hawley and warren. No one else has uttered a syllable in support

🇨🇳🇺🇸China deployed dozens of research vessels, including the Dong Fang Hong 3, to map the ocean floor across the Pacific, Indian, and Arctic oceans throughout 2024 and 2025. The surveys focused on strategic zones near Taiwan, Guam, the Malacca Strait, and waters around Hawaii and Australia, gathering seabed and hydrographic data that naval experts say will aid Chinese submarine deployment and anti-submarine warfare against the U.S. Source: Reuters
