30. I am a strong proponent of single-payer
And I certainly don't think it would solve all our health care problems. Such an assumption would be far too sweeping. It would make things much better, however, in two major respects:
Elimination of bureaucratic inefficiencies and profit-taking by insurance company middle men would significantly reduce costs - enough to cover everyone for no more than we are collectively paying today.
Elimination of bureaucratic inefficiencies! Oh, YEAH! What a idiot.
Insurance companies have an incentive to deny claims because this is a way they maximize their profits. This motivation would be reduced if claims were handled by a government agency.
Yeah, DUmbass, just wait until the profit motive is removed from health care situations. Just wait, DUmbass, until "maximizing profits" is replaced by "cutting government losses".
You, DUmbass, need to stop your surface feelgood thinking and get into some deep thought about the subject.
