Well every single payer system in the world seems to disprove your


assertion. But I do think you have a point with respect to our way of doing things. Medicare Part D seems to reinforce what you're saying to a degree....and I wouldn't put it past our lawmakers to go to single payer with no price negotiation power. Yes, that would be the worst of all worlds.

I'm not 100% sold on single government payer tbh, for various reasons. I think something like what France does where there are quasi-public funds that provide insurance that everyone must buy into, supplemented with private options probably works best, at least so the statistics say.
