Single payer means . . .

.

When referring to Obama Health Care, all checks written to or for doctors, hospitals, services, medicine and anything else will be written from a single fund, a government fund, that is quite likely to be a part of a bureaucracy. Government is the single payer.

The actual health care providers will need to obtain approval from their designated health care bureaucrats in order to provide health care. When the doctor, for instance, receives permission and is given an approval number by the government bureaucrat, the medical care giver will then be paid for the services rendered. There will be no shopping around for health care.
