re: Single payer: better care for less cost?: It's not so easy

The governments rules and regulations on healthcare are costing us billions. And more government intervention into healthcare is susceptible to corruption. If you think lobbyist and kickbacks are bad now, wait until there is one payer and all the companies are vying for that lucrative wasteful government contract.

And if you think that will create competition with one payer (the government) being able to negotiate, LOL, you are very niave. Just look at how we hand out money for construction projects, stimulus bills, etc. It's all a scam and mostly waste

You need a for-profit entity making the decisions in order to lower costs. This country is not for-profit. They just print more money
