"A lot of the overhead for government provided health care isn't counted in the figures for their costs."

So is your claim that those costs would push the government's cost up by an order of magnitude or more?

With a public system there would still be horror stories, waiting for care, denial of expensive care etc.

But at least you get treated and at the end of the day, you still have insurance.

Which is better, Tim..........no insurance or less than exciting public insurance?
