What I perceive to be your premise in the above remark is rather absurd, though -- that administrative overhead could be brought down by some kind of government run health care system. You cannot show me an example of an efficiently run government agency.

NOT "government run health care system"; government run insurance. Look at the overhead of Social Security as an close example.

Our system has generated two massive overhead bureaucracies, the thousands of insurance company gatekeepers trying to deny claims, and the thousands of medical office workers trying to get the insurance companies to accept them.

Our most efficient systems are Medicare and the VA, that don't have these problems.
