Single Payer Still a Bridge Too Far (We Hope)
Expanding Obamacare subsidies and putting more low-income people on Medicaid seen as more likely than a public option or single payer under Biden
Democrat-controlled Senate would revive Obamacare in the unlikely event the Supreme Court strikes it down
Biden’s HHS pick Xavier Becerra is a long-time supporter of single payer
Organizers figure they need to identify 9 million supporters before putting single payer on the ballot in California
CBO: delays and forgone care a foregone conclusion if Congress passes single payer - ‘free’ care will goose demand but low provider reimbursements will cut supply

- Wait, there’s more: “In 2020, Canadian patients were collectively waiting for more than 1.2 million procedures, up roughly 15% from 2019. The median wait for treatment following referral from a general practitioner was 22.6 weeks last year. This is the longest wait on record, up 143% since the Fraser Institute began keeping track in 1993.” (Sally Pipes)
