Z, Wanna show me charities with 0.8% administrative costs? That's an easy myth to debunk: forbes.com realclearpolitics.com The administrative costs per patient is higher for Medicare than for private insurance. The way Medicare reduces the percentage is by blowing up the actual benefits paid out to patients, but that's full of fraud, waste, and potentially unnecessary treatments. You say whatever you want because you want to. I happen to have spent about 15 years around philanthropists and I'm speaking from experience. Do you realize that you basically patronized the motives and charity of those whose contributions you were trying to solicit? I speak from common sense. Nothing you have said makes any sense whatsoever, despite your years of experience. You have basically said that government is more efficient in being "charitable" than the very charities you have tried to fund. If that's the case, what I said stands. Philanthropists should just donate their money to government. Don't mind the fact that trust in government is at an all time low. Tenchusatsu
