You can highly remunerate health care professionals without the entire health care system being treated as a for-profit business.

- lotsofpulp 7y agoMy point is someone working in healthcare is also working for money as the end goal, and a doctor/pharmacist/nurse getting paid is also a business transaction.
- Frondo 7y agoAnd none of that would change under single payer (or, as someone else suggested, a German-style model). Absolutely no one anywhere is suggesting doctors and nurses should work for free. Single payer advocates are only suggesting that we cut out the byzantine mechanism of the US medical billing regime, and let the American people pay health care professionals directly, with taxes, instead.
- lotsofpulp 7y agoI’m also not suggesting single payer is a problem. I’m simply claiming that healthcare is a business, regardless of who is paying what. People wanting money for labor to provide healthcare is business.
