Single Payer 101

Across the country, health insurers are raising rates or pulling out of the Obamacare exchanges. Could a single-payer system solve some of the problems? How would that work? What IS a single-payer system, anyway? Who wins, who loses? Dr. Bradley Herring, an associate professor in the Department of Health Policy and Management at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, breaks it down for us.
