A single payer refers to a system in which one entity (usually the government) pays all the medical bills for a specific population. And usually (though, again, not always) that entity sets the prices for medical procedures. A single-payer system is not the same thing as socialized medicine. In a truly socialized medicine system, the government not only pays the bills but also owns the health care facilities and employs the professionals who work there.
An unusual debate is attracting a storm of Internet commentary as viewers disagree over whether âthe dressâ is black and blue or white and gold. Things started when Tumblr user swiked posted a photo of the dress Wednesday and asked: âGuys please help me â is this dress white and gold, or blue and black.
The point is, your brain tries to interpolate a kind of color context for the image, and then spits out an answer for the color of the dress. Even Neitz, with his weird white-and-gold thing, admits that the dress is probably blue.âI actually printed the picture out,â he says.âThen I cut a little piece out and looked at it, and completely out of context itâs about halfway in between, not this dark blue color.ven Neitz, with his weird white-and-gold thing, admits that the dress is probably blue. âI actually printed the picture out,â he says. âThen I cut a little piece out and looked at it, and completely out of context itâs about halfway in between, not this dark blue color.
