They all say the same thing. The reality is that physicians wages have been cut fairly routinely over the last 5 years or so and nurses wages have never been great if you aren't unionized. What is happening now is definitely NOT working.
There have been posts before on DU showing that those countries with single-payer systems actually pay less for better health care. We are ranked 16th in quality of healthcare in the industrialized world. Terrible. The HMOs and privitization of healthcare have been a disaster.
