Have yet to hear anyone -- ANYONE! -- address the insanity of protecting an industry that marks up the cost of medical care 30-to-50-percent while cherry-picking policyholders, capping benefits, precluding those with pre-existing conditions, etc., etc.
Someone PLEASE do the math... explain why single-payer with, maybe, a two- or three-percent overhead and reasonable fee-for-service standards is a bad idea. (mas0chism is not a valid response)
