A more credible source is the guy on 60 minutes who treated 17,000 patients with a budget of $ 250,000.

He may be a credible source for some information, but can he tell you what the administrative overhead of Medicare is? Charles Barkley is a credible source for how to run a pick and roll but that's not useful for our purposes either. When you want specific information, you need to find a source that has it.

Why did California legislature vote to outlaw private insurance in 07.

They did? Surely that's unconstitutional.

FWIW, I was reading up on compact light bulbs when I stumbled upon a blog written by an ER doctor who offered 15-25% admin overhead. He didn't footnote his source.

That sounds more realistic to me. My fuzzy recollection was of numbers in the mid to high teens.

Private insurance is legal in CA.
