Click here to help break up giant anti-health corporations such as UnitedHealth Group. The purpose of single-payer health coverage would be to separate the payer from the medical providers, and from the profit motive. A publicly-run single payer system can drive prices down while leaving medical professionals free to provide the best care they can without wasting any time being insurance agents or rationing a basic human right. The U.S. government has refused to create single-payer coverage, and has instead allowed inefficient, profit-driven, private health insurance companies to make a business out of denying health care. Even worse, the government has allowed mega-corporations to monopolize the combined field of health insurance / health care / drug sales. By avoiding the reality that private health insurance is an enormous waste, and that monopolistic businesses drive up costs, the United States has been able to shift focus to the false problem of doctors supposedly providing too much healthcare. This has been addressed by combining pharmacies with hospitals with insurance companies into giant conglomerates in which doctors are employees with incentives to reduce care. It's the worst of all worlds, with prices driven upward, and care driven downward. Click here to tell Congress you want conflicts of interest eliminated by breaking apart pharmacies from hospitals and doctors' offices, and all of those things from health coverage.  |
