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. The only rational analysis, which puts the two on a per-patient basis, found that Medicare administrative costs per patient are up to 34% higher. I've posted it here on numerous occasions and don't plan to do so again. If politicians worked together in DC, medicare can be improved. If I won the Powerball I would have $100 Million dollars. But I didn't. Congress has never once cut Medicare and they're not about to start doing it now. HELL, the democrats had to give back $30 Billion to Florida Medicare Advantage just to get this piece of shit legislation through the Senate. That was going to be the big savings. So, now we find out Florida gets to KEEP its Medicare Advantage, while the rest of the country gives it up.
