If there is no funding, nothing being paid for (as money does not appear out of nowhere unfortunately) no wonder everything has collapsed. No wonder there is no quality within healthcare as they cannot afford for it!
How does anyone think anything is free? It is because they are completely divorced from reality. Also keep in mind there is an element of envy which also fuels a desire for more government. This is what the hippies were truly all about. Actually, playdud and pbrower think that it does which in the case of the Fed is true but there are nasty consequences.
Keep in mind that when they speak of single payer what they really mean is government run. If you want to know how that works out look up the VA scandals in the US.
