3. Question
Does "single payer" mean that private payments are outlawed?

That's scarcy, because if Bush and the Republicans in the House and Sentate decide to give zero funding for abortion, and private payments are outlawed, then what is a woman to do if she needs an abortion? Do we return to the days of dangerous, illegal, back alley abortion?

Why not do it the way it's done in England? The NHS gives free health care to everyone, but people also have the option of privately funded alternatives.
