    It's time to do away with the insurance companies and their "for profit" model for most health care and enact single payer universal health.

    We can keep the insurance companies for people that want to pay extra for some platinum plated insurance so that you can have a lung transplant when you are 95 and haven't accepted that it time for you to LEAVE.

    You realize the profit margin for health insurers is around 4% right?
    Bullshit.

    The fact that the profit margin is only 4% (if true) doesn't mean that the health insurance industry isn't adding a lot to the cost of our national health care. It could be adding 40% to the cost, but still only have a profit margin of 4%. Sounds like you don't understand a lot about how corporations handle expenses such as executive salaries, etc.

    So what's a couple million dollars to a multi billion dollars?

    But the government is so much more efficient.

    Again...we are talking about billions. A couple million to even 20-30 million is nothing when compared to the billions in out going expenses each year. You show me where executive compensation makes up more than 1 percent of total expenses then we can talk.

    You of course realized that if insurance companies don't make a profit, they don't have money to pay large claims. I would much rather have an insurance company that barely squeaks by and then when I need them, don't have money to pay. That's what I like.

    And like Greenblood mentioned, single payer government healthcare sure is working out wonderfully with the VA.

    That's the point. The VA is underfunded and vets shouldn't have to deal with lesser care than what everyone else gets. Single payer solves the VA.

    I like it when someone says something thinking it's helping their point, when in reality, it's making the opposite point.
