"but one should not assume that means all the functions are the best domain of the state."

You don't have to make assumptions. I gave you the realities.

- Medicare costs versus private insurance
- Private insurance's goal isn't health care, it's high premiums coupled with denial of claims which translates into denial of care
- 45% of bankruptcies are due to medical bills
- 47 million uninsured which is a drag on the entire economy as well as being immoral
- Everyone could have coverage TOMORROW

It doesn't have to be the final answer, it's a better answer than doing nothing and having middlemen denial-of-care continue on.
