Single Payer Healthcare

Plagiarism Even if accidental its still plagiarism, further I highly doubt one could accidentally do this:What my opponent wrote: “When has our government ever saved money? Social Security is essentially bankrupt. Medicare will soon be bankrupt. So will Medicaid. These programs don't save money and, instead, lose a lot of it because of the amount of fraud and, more importantly, the overuse they incentivize. Overuse is the real cause of rising health care costs.After all, when something is free and you feel like you need it, would you ever stop asking for it? Moreover, as long as doctors are paid for providing you with that free service, why would they stop providing it? The same scenario would exist with a single-payer health care system. Overuse of services (again, because they are free) would limit any potential savings and eventually bankrupt the system.Moreover, any analysis of costs savings by a government-run system is always misleading. Comparisons between private sector costs and the costs of a single-payer system usually exclude many government administrative expenses, such as the costs of collecting the taxes needed to fund the system and the salaries of politicians and their staff members who set health care policy. By contrast, the salary costs of executives and boards of directors who set insurance companies' policies are included in private sector costs. A government is somewhat immune to the free-market bottom lines that private sector companies deal with annually. Government doesn't have to account for every penny, and, thus, a lot is lost through the cracks.”What the website wrote: “When has our government ever saved money?

What she wrote, “My opponent claims that cost will not be driven up by single payer health care but a single-payer system is a "free-for-all system," where costs are driven up. Patients are likely to over-use health services because they don't have to pay for them, and, thus, providers (taxpayers) must oversupply those services. The only way a government can deal with over consumption and oversupply is to ration those services through waiting lists.Canada's health care system, for example, illustrates this very point: everyone in Canada's public system must wait for practically any procedure or diagnostic test or specialist consultation. Moreover, in the long term, access to care will decrease more substantially because the prospect of lower compensation (see below) and lower lifetime earnings reduces the incentive for talented people to choose careers in health care.”What the website wrote, “A single-payer system is a “free-for-all system,” where costs are driven up.

ExtendI extend all the rebuttals I made last round which my opponent dropped. Conclusion:If your literate PRO has won.
