The problem is the huge and erroneous assumption that a single payer system is is going to save money through less administration.
The insurances that are the most difficult to deal with..that cost the most for my facilities to handle... are GOVERNMENT insurances.. notably Medicaid and VA.. with Medicare coming in there (there are a couple of "Obamacare insurances) that are worse than medicare when it comes to cost to bill etc.
So when you tell me going to a government system that already costs me the most.. is going to save money? Don't believe you.
The govt system is less costly than is the private system. The experience of those countries moving from totally private insurance market to UH is that admin costs go down when centralized by the govt. Why is it you think America can't do as well as those countries with UH?
