Herb Masser's July 3 diatribe against single-payer health insurance is logically flawed.

He asks us to imagine that New York has mandated that there be only one car dealer in New York. He asks us to imagine there is only one store for us to buy groceries.

We do not get our health care from insurance companies. We get our health care from doctors, nurses and hospitals. We are not being told that there will only be one doctor, one nurse or one hospital for us to get our health care from.

Do not listen to fallacious arguments against single-payer health care.
