"He's actually right about "disruption," but there's something he doesn't explain. That is, a transition to single payer would disrupt the flow of health premium cash onto corporate balance sheets thereby massively undermining the positions of a very small population of very rich players vested in financial markets on the basis of the flow of those premiums."

"There is no reason at all Medicare can't just be opened to everyone. All the mechanisms are already in place, including the tax structure. There's not a wage earner in this country that wouldn't trade their large insurance deduction for a smaller amount that would appear as an increase in the Medicare portion of the payroll tax."
