If any of you want to play me my Xfire name is

Politicians need to focus on getting down the administrative costs of these insurance companies. Their admin costs come out to something like 20% meanwhile in contrast Medicare is like 3%. I think I read that in the latest T.R. Reid book and another book Health Care Half Truths.
I am an advocate of single-payer. However, I don't think that's going to happen in the US anytime soon. Even this bs "public option" compromise is probably not going through either.
I just read a book by T.R. Reid. His description of the German healthcare (Bismarck Model) is pretty amazing. Basically there are tons of insurers and you get it through your work. However, if you lose your job the government pays your premium until you get back to work. Perhaps some aspect...
Radical or not sometimes things need to get done.
I have always advocated a single-payer system over creating a whole new entity just to administer a public option. That seems less radical to me.
