Healthcare Rant

The healthcare system in the USA continues to be outrageously stupid! Medicare, a single payer universal coverage, uses less than 2% to pay administrative costs, while private insurance uses 20% for administrative costs, and much of that cost is used to figure out ways to deny coverage.

Our system is bloated and wasteful. It 's purpose is not what it purportedly claims. The costs to individuals and businesses is huge, but spread out and mixed in with everything else: to the glee of big insurance companies, the true cost is not easily segregated.

And when an insurance company is trying to deny your specific coverage, the tax is HUGE, and personal.

We need to end this system today.
