re: It higher in some companies, but it isn't universally higher. I haven't seen solid data on the average. Krugman is arguing for the government taking over, so he has no reason to understate the average.

Your 20% doesn't include all the admin cost for doctors, clinics and hospitals to deal with 1500 insurance companies. That may be as much as it is on the back end for the insurance companies. Doctors would lower their expenses with single payer.
