ParticipantAre you sure the current overhead is 60%? It’s much higher than 30% which I heard…
And 30% is also still high. Let the insurance companies raise rates – it’ll only pave way for socialized medicine. (which I want) In my opinion, they still make too much money with too much waste – it’s not really efficient system.
don’t get me wrong – I have the most generous insurance from my company, according to the hospitals I visit, and it’ll cost me thousands to buy premiums myself.
But comparing my experience with the level of health care I received back in Korea, this American system is broken. And Korea is not really a top tier country, much more incompetent than the US gov’t – yet they can provide much better service, at much lower cost, to virtually everyone. I think America can do so much better than this.
Anyone who’s been outside US knows this – single payer system is nothing to be feared about and ANY alternative to current U.S. insurance companies would be better.

GuestSounds like the “starve the beast” strategy of the right to cutting government spending.
Did it work? No.

And with a single payer system, nothing precludes patients from getting additional insurance (or employers from providing additional insurance) if they want the very best of care.
That’s true, in Italy, France, Taiwan, Korea, etc…
