Employers, employees and the state fund the system. That should be enough not
to qualify as single payer’s system ;-)
Now, in case you want more than offered, private insurance companies may enter
the dance, and some employers may even open their purses for that.
For instance, the French SS will refund my glasses or false teeth up to 70%, a
mutual fund I have subscribed to will top that refund to 90% or so, and my
private insurance will cover the rest up to 99%.
OTT: every single person in the country is covered, legal and illegal
immigrants included.
The cost of health care is roughly two thirds that of the US (11% vs 18% GDP),
and I’m not sure we statistically die one third earlier … life expectancy US
