I think the first priority about health insurance is getting it to the uninsured. and I think that can only be done if we cut costs. If we go for wider coverage and dont get the expected cost savings, we'll get fewer services. In the case of my argument, identifying the problem is not difficult; getting the political will to transition to a single payer system is well beyond daunting. But it helps to keep the concept in play as a benchmark, if nothing else. The 20% in savings that they are talking about isnt from cutting paperwork, it is about cutting treatments that dont seem to work. That isnt going to get any easier in a single-payer system. Slacker
