He wasn't saying people would lose coverage, he's saying that many hospitals would close if they were exclusively paid at the current medicare reimbursement rate (which is true; medicare pays hospitals considerably less than private insurers do). The rate could be increased, but that would substantially increase the cost of the plan. Or, the hospitals could cut their rates. That would require paying doctors, nurses, pharma companies, suppliers, etc. less. And maybe in turn, making the cost of medical school lower and opening more medical schools. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:923896039] in Politics C...
