Single-Payer Health Care

Single-Payer Health Care Would Stimulate Economy
http://www.thenation.com/blogs/thebeat/396919?rel=hp_picks

1. Create 2,613,495 million new permanent good-paying jobs (slightly exceeding the number of jobs lost in 2008) -- and jobs that are not easily shipped overseas

2. Boost the economy with $317 billion in increased business and public revenues

3. Add $100 billion in employee compensation

4. Infuse public budgets with $44 billion in new tax revenues

------

This makes too much sense to be implemented, surely...
