Reply #29: It's not a choice between the two

They likey MEAN a sliding scale subsidized insurance, because people don't trust government directed heath care. That's why they rejected Hillary care, they were convinced the government was going to control the whole thing. The American nightmare is heath care disintegrating into county hospitals and public clinics. The only way to assure people that won't happen is a plan that keeps private care and private insurance to pay for it. We will never get from here to single payer without going through that loop. And if it's fully funded, it works. It's what we have in Oregon.
