The Single-Payer Tornado
The National Association of Health Underwriters (NAHU) released a new infographic, the Single-Payer Tornado. It visually depicts five major consequences of adopting single-payer healthcare: eliminating upwards of 11 million U.S. jobs, forcing patients to wait for care, rationing prescription drugs, restricting research and development, and increasing taxes. By demonstrating how single-payer has affected other countries that have adopted such systems, the infographic shows what could happen if it were to be adopted in the U.S., either at the state or federal level.
