Naaah. It's gonna happen, and it's gonna happen soon. Aetna is for it. Krauthammer thinks we'll have it in six years.

Single payer is different than "socialized medicine." Single payer means the government says who's eligible, the government sets the prices, the open market provides the services and the open market provides the insurance. Medicare is single payer. Medicaid is single payer. It's capitalism with "care for citizens" added.

Something like 40% of our clients are already single payer.
