I think we need a recap, post-outrage over Beto’s answer when asked if he supports single payer healthcare for the US:
Single payer is a form of universal healthcare.
Single payer may be the most cost-efficient way to deliver universal healthcare.
Single payer may be the least expensive way to deliver universal healthcare.
Single payer may be the most ‘easy to understand’ way to universal healthcare.
Single payer may be the ‘fairest’ way to deliver universal healthcare.
However, even if you believe all of the above to be absolutely true…
Single payer is not the ONLY way to universal healthcare.
