A succinct q&a on single payer and health care costs

This question and answer interview with Dr. Marcia Angell in yesterday's New York Times is a great, short, succinct explainer of why single payer is the best way to provide universal care equitably and economically. Dr. Angell is a strong single payer advocate and drug company critic, whose bona fides include a current post as senior lecturer in social medicine at Harvard Medical School as well as former editor of The New England Journal of Medicine.
