What liberals don't get about single payer. "A health-care system that followed international best practices would direct the government to set rates. Or it would let insurers band together and negotiate rates collectively -- a practice called "all-payer rate setting." But it wouldn't need to eliminate private insurers. It's good for consumers to have a choice of insurers, who have real incentives to innovate and devise better ways to keep customers healthy and costs down. It's health-care providers -- not insurers -- who have too much power in the U.S. system." Ezra Klein in Bloomberg.
