“Finally, there are the legal and moral arguments. Health care is considered a human right in every other developed nation. By not providing Medicare to all Americans, the government is not providing equal protection under the law: those with Medicare have more protection against the devastating effects of illness and injury, get more help overcoming or living with disabilities, and are protected against financial ruin.People say that single-payer would cost too much. Not true.We could provide health care for all our citizens for no more than we are currently spending on our very dysfunctional, fragmented and unfair system.How is this possible? Currently almost half of every health care dollar is spent on something other than health care: profit for insurance companies; multi-million-dollar salaries of their CEOs; money spent on advertising, processing (and rejecting) claims; and creating mountains of paperwork and endless hassles for doctors and patients.”Dr. Ann Toy, Marin Voice, August 27, 2018.Which of the following most likely explains how the views of moderates would be affected by this passage?AThe passage might convince a moderate to support a single-payer system and passage of a constitutional amendment that allows Congress to create a single-payer health-care system.BThe passage might convince a moderate to oppose a single-payer system of health care and contact their representatives in Congress to indicate their opposition.CThe passage might convince a moderate to oppose a single-payer system of health care and vote for a member of Congress who supports defunding Medicare entirely.DThe passage might convince a moderate to support a single-payer system of health care and a proposal that would double income taxes to pay for it.
