"In sum, a single payer reform would make
universal, comprehensive coverage affordable
by diverting hundreds of billions of dollars
from bureaucracy to patient care.
Lesser reforms - even those that include a
public plan option - cannot realize such savings.
While reforms that maintain a major role for
private insurers may be politically attractive,
they are economically and medically nonsensical"
David U. Himmelstein, M.D.
