yup...you finally begin to see the light.
Single payer does that.

Funny, every time you say "begin to see the light" it's as if you've completely misunderstood what I wrote.

The graph you posted, that is not for "single payer." It's not for the VA. It's for the current insurance based healthcare system the US has now. It's showing that dealing with the dozens of insurance companies is creating a huge administrative burden, and therefore cost, for the insurance.

Single payer would reduce that yellow area.
