With Daylight Savings once again coming up, it never fails for it to spark discussions about its purpose in modern times. People hate it widely while few seem to be okay with it and depending where you live, others don’t even know what the deal is.
Politicians have actually put it on the docket to be voted on, but seems to have lost traction. Quite frankly, this is an issue that should be done and over with. Just end it, but please end it when we have the clocks dialed back than forward, because I wouldn’t like time going faster than it already is.
Single payer is the same as our version of Medicare. Odd way to phrase it though.
The essence is that one entity is dealing with payments for hospitals, doctors, specialists, etc. The “single payer” would be an organ of the federal government that collects a portion of tax revenue and is billed for services. The term implies that the government is not itself providing any services.
That is weird. I always thought it was weird to go to the GP and horse around where you pay $x and get $y back from medicare, more like multiple-unnecessary-payers IMO. I guess if you invented a new system now it wouldn’t be so daft.
Oh sorry I forgot about that bit. I meant the bulk billing style.
