Ida Hellander, M.D., Director of Health Policy and Programs at Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP) recently wrote a detailed 10-point piece responding to the criticisms of single payer and Medicare for All.
"Misinformation about single payer is nothing new," she writes. "When the U.S. was at war with Germany in World War I, national health insurance was attacked as 'the Kaiser's health plan.' President Johnson's Medicare program -- which turned 50 last year -- was aggressively red-baited as 'socialized medicine' by the right."
The misinformation and labeling continues.
