As for who is to blame for increasing healthcare costs in the US, part of it is this insane system that is employment based and driven by risk segmentation. But a major part of it, beyond any doubt, is significantly higher overhead costs.

Ok, i can atleast see your point of view on this.
I have a serious question now that isn't meant to be condescending or glib or anything like that. In my opinion, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, all of which are govn't run programs, though well intentioned, are a complete disaster. They are all broke and they are all being severly abused. How does the govn't think it can run something as massive as Single Payor in this country(I understand it may work in other countries, but I'm talking about this one) when all the other social programs they currently run are seriously flawed?
