WESTMINSTER WEST — I have to admire Dart Everett for his creative and rampant imagination with regards to the governor's future plans, farfetched as they may be.
I support the Affordable Care Act, but it falls far short of the ease and efficiency of Medicare, which is, in fact, a single-payer system.
The governor's efforts in promoting a single-payer system would, in aggregate, reduce overall spending on health care. The billions Dart quotes are scary and should be, but those are the billions that are being spent right now - imagine that.
This state is working hard to develop a program that would be comprehensive, be fair, and provide health care to every one of our citizens.
That is what the real world should look like and hopefully will, in spite of the scare tactics promoted by scurrilous letters such as Dart's.
