Wow, something I actually finally agree w/ Reagan on -- mostly because I'm anti-bureaucracy. Mailing checks can be automated and allow for closing all welfare offices and firing all the staff that run those agencies, cutting the utilities, selling the land, etc...
I'm also for single-payer because we spend too much on Sales/Commercials/CEOS for insurance companies, and medical billers who we could all put out of jobs because all they do is figure out how to pay hospitals and collect money from us or our employers.

$10k given to Bill Gates goes into the bank account, and stays their collecting dust and interest.
$10k given to a struggling family goes into a new car, or braces for Jimmy, etc... Which in turn goes to payroll for employees at the dentist or car-lot, and that goes on and on...
