Looks Different When You're Employed by the Culprit

An analysis by University of Massachusetts at Amherst professor Gerald Friedman found that the single-payer [health care] plan introduced into the last Congress [...] would save $592 billion, while expanding coverage to all uninsured Americans, regardless of ability to pay. Over 95 percent of households would see higher after-tax income because of the cost controls and elimination of insurance premiums.

[...]

Howard Dean is the latest in a string of Hillary Clinton supporters to charge that Bernie Sanders is wrong to support a single-payer health care plan. The former chairman of the Democratic National Committee claimed on MSNBC last night that Sanders’ reform might result in “chaos” because “trying to implement it would in fact undo people’s health care.”

Yeah, that does look like an infection under there, but leave that scab alone.  What a great argument.

We already had enough chaos with Obamacare.  Don't try to fix it.  Leave it alone.

Dean, a longtime supporter of single-payer, seemed to be changing his tune.

[...]

In 2009, Dean praised single-payer while speaking on Democracy Now, calling the idea “by far the most economically efficient system.” That’s because, as Dean noted at the time, a Medicare-for-all style single-payer system would cut down on bureaucratic overhead and do a better job at controlling prices.

[...]

This evolution of Dean [...] comes as he has settled into a corporate lobbying career.

It always does.

The Dentons Public Policy and Regulation practice [where Dean works] lobbies on behalf of a variety of corporate health care interests, including the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, a powerful trade group for drugmakers like Pfizer and Merck.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
