Chronic Health Conditions Discussion and Support

I am a parent of an 11 yr old with Cystic Fibrosis, and I am very happy with the care he gets through my insurance (which I pay dearly for). His health is very, very good for an 11 yr old with this condition. I have attended various support groups and talked with people that have come from a single payer system. Their overall feeling is that a single payer system isn't nearly as effective for chronic illness as care is slow, and any experimental treatment is very hard to qualify for. i am sure that a single payer system would get more people with chronic conditions covered and treated, but being a bit selfish, I am very happy that the current system in the U.S. has given my son the very best care. what will happen when he can no longer be covered under my insurance? I don't know. but the care he is getting now has at least made that a problem I am happy to be facing. I am sure I will feel differently when he joins the ranks of the uninsurable, though.
