The cost of administering Medicare is ALWAYS higher than private insurance.

Ok...so you should prove this credibly, because everything I have read indicates that Medicare admin costs are a fraction of private insurance plus private insurance extracts a profit where's medicare does not.

I also don't subscribe to the "throw away the baby with the bath water" policy you would advocate. If politicians worked together in DC, medicare can be improved. But republicans won't give up on seeing it destroyed, so we have less than ideal solutions.
