38. K&R... Edwards Health Plan Has ALWAYS Provided a "Pathway" To Single Payer Plan By Virtue
of its Competitive incentives that basically pit the private plans against an invigorated/revamped Medicare Plan wherre everyone pays 'premiums" according to their ability to pay... So eventually the qualitatively competitive Govt. plan that's much less expensive than the private plans (more heavily regulated under Edwards Plan) succumbs to market competition. Why pay 2-3 times as much to mthe private insurers when you can receive the same or better coverage from the National plan for a much more affordable cost? :)
