"And it IS based on the ability to pay ... you just want me to pay for someone else 's and in the most inefficient way possible ."
"Well , at least you have that right . The cheapest and most efficient way of delivering health care is through single payer financed by taxes . Every single study ever done demonstrates that the most efficiently run health care system is Medicare . It functions with a 2 % overhead . As I hope you know , insurance is based on the principal of risk-spreading , and the larger the pool the more the risk is spread . Even now , if you are healthy and privately `` insured `` you are paying for others ' health care . You pay premiums and the benefits go to those who are in need of benefits . The only difference is that you support all the clones and drones in the health care `` industry `` who come between the physician and the delivery of services . Like so many on the so-called libertarian right , you have made a fetish of the market . Keep on drinking the Kool-Aid that Alyssa Rosenblum dispenses in trash like The Fountainhead"
