Our present structure of many private health insurers must have advertising and marketing costs to compete with each other. And they must have consistent profits to stay in business.

So those costs aren't wasteful, they're a benefit.

I'm not trying to pass judgment on marketing costs and profits in general.
I'm simply saying that single-payer system is cheaper because it has no need for those costs
