“Imagine a politician proudly advertising his new plan to underpay teachers! Yet this is the argument made by single-payer health care boosters, with the word “doctors” implicitly substituted for ‘teachers.’ The Economic Policy Institute (EPI), for example, has published several studies arguing that public school teachers are somehow paid below-market levels and that this has dire consequences for classroom learning. But the EPI also touts its public health insurance plan, which would use ‘concentrated purchasing power’ to force provider prices below market levels. In other words, underpaying teachers is bad, but underpaying doctors is good.”
