Last Tuesday night Republicans got off of the commercial planes that had government licensed pilots that landed on 'single payer' airports that were controlled by government air traffic controllers so that they could go to a 'single payer' convention center that was serviced by a city run non profit so that they could complain saying;




"Don't let the Government take over private business. Don't let them take over health care. Don't let them tell you what Doctor you can or cannot go to."


Afterwards some of them took their invited guests to single payer stadiums that are rented out at subsidy prices and financed with municipal bonds. At the same time many Republican fat cats are taking their families down to the single payer port to use municipal passenger facilities in order to take their families on cruises by profit making companies.


There are thousands of examples of single payer services provided in our country.

We do it when it makes sense.

We currently have very limited 'single payer health care'. We have single payer public health services, by the Center for Disease Control at the national level and the local public health clinics at the county level, while Fire Departments have basically 'crowded out' and eliminated almost all private ambulance service in the US. Quality goes up and prices go down. We no longer spend any money mumps, measles, chicken pox or small pox. Nobody is calling for the elimination of the CDC or the county health clinics because of some arcane ideological principle.

I don't have a problem with any of the single payer airports, convention centers, ports, baseball stadiums, ambulances, or the CDC, that significantly add to the quality of life to the 'haves' in this country as long as they are transparent and are supported by the local population.

It isn't socialism, its called an intelligent solution.
