I am a regular listener of To The Point, enjoy Warren Olney very much, although I have been disappointed with the minimal coverage of single payer healthcare reform on his program and especially on NPR in particular. Your comments and descriptions were excellent. You well described the problems with our current non-system, and why single payer is preferable by far. There is much more support for single payer — Expanded and Improved Medicare for All — among the public than the Forbes insurance industry-apologist was willing to acknowledge. I was fascinated that that person chose Switzerland as a comparison with the U.S. situation, and yet he really mischaracterized it as you pointed out. He clearly was hesitant to refer to the German or French systems, each of which have many, but regulated, insurance companies. Thanks for your important contribution. Sincerely yours, Don Mitchell Western Washington chapter, PNHP Goos afternoon, Dr. Metz

I've been a happy Kaiser Permanente member for 21 years and am all in favor of any of the various flavors of single-payer integrated medical systems. Getting physicians on salary is important. It's the 21st century and we should not be paying doctors piecemeal. Dr. Metz, thank you for your spirited advocacy of a national single-payer health care plan in the NY Times this week.
