Why A Single Payer System Would Be Less Expensive

Thanks to a link posted by Kevin Drum at Washington Monthly here’s a doctor’s take on why a “single payer” health care system in the USA would cut health care expenses. Four of the doctor’s office staff now deals with 301 different private insurance plans as well as Medicare and Medicaid. He figures with a one payer system he could reduce the four staff to one and reduce his annual computer expenses.

Private insurance companies are looting the USA economy and they are permitted by Congress to continue doing so because of their generous campaign contributions.
