I was watching the Chicken Noodle for a few minutes this afternoon, you know, the Ted Fonda news network based in Atlanta. They showed some video of a group of so-called “nurses” and “doctors” busting into a Congressional committee taking up health care, and they whined and yelled about Congress not considering a single payer system for the sake of health care reform.
In spite of my scornful use of quotation marks above, I can actually believe that these were real nurses and doctors, and that they really do want single payer for a reason. The economics of a monopsony (not monopoly, note the spelling) — look it up.
