An individual writing a check of health insurance isn't necessary for the medical system to benefit by market forces.

It pretty much is. Oh sure there is a little consumer pressure, but nothing like when you have free choice of any product.

re: Than apparently it isn't single payer, and providers have to fill out forms for different insurance companies, but you where counting on so much savings from economies of scale on the insurance company side, and only having to deal with one insurance organization (the federal government) on the health care provider side.

In rare cases not in every case. And just for the 'ups and extras'. My guess is that it would be paid by the end user and reembursed by the insurance company. The provider might not even be involved.

Question still stands... does that sound so bad?
