Healthcare, like education, has an admin problem. The USA already spends more per capita on healthcare than any other country, by a lot. Most of it goes towards bullshite bureaucracy and leeches. Admins playing shell games with how much your care actually costs and pulling a paycheck for it. Get rid of all that inefficiency between the hospitals and the insurance companies and the cost goes down.
Well said.
The quality of healthcare these days isn’t worth the cost.

That depends greatly upon who you ask.
Some estimates put administrative costs over 30% of the total cost of healthcare.
Some put it at 7%.
I don't know who really knows, or IF anyone really knows.
I do know that the government payers require more paperwork, have more regulations, need more prior authorizations, deny more care, initiate more rigorous clawbacks, etc., etc., etc. than any of the private companies any of my clinics ever dealt with. And it wasn't close.
So I always wonder why people think "single payer," would be so great.
Go to a hospital or clinic and be responsible for dealing with Medicare claims for a month. Then see how great you think "single payer" would be.
