Progressive physicians favor a single-payer health plan serving as an insurance fund, leaving physicians free to organize their own practices and patients free to choose their physicians.
The pile of evidence that a "single-payer" system in which the government serves as the insurance company--the Canadian system--works better than any other is by now so high that it is almost embarrassing to have to reassemble it here.
If it is desired, an all payer system can also serve as a way to constrain the future growth of health care to some desired path – e.g., with total national health spending growing annually only 0.5 percentage points faster than the growth of the rest of gross the domestic product, rather than the traditional two percentage points faster that prevailed over the last four decades.
