    Health insurance is a middleman that makes up 18% of the GDP. It's another scam taxpayers are forced into that redistributes wealth upward. Remove the middleman and Americans would save $2 trillion a year in healthcare cost. That will never happen because corporate welfare makes for an impressive GDP.

    The 18% of GDP is total healthcare cost. Private health insurance constitutes 26% of that $3.8 trillion. Most of the private healthcare goes to hospital and doctor care.

    If you eliminated private health insurance somebody would still have to pay all those medical expenditures currently being paid by insurance.

    Medicare and Medicaid also distributes wealth upward because doctors and nurses and others receiving those funds tend to be higher than median income.

    Our future is eliminating the middleman. Banks and insurance companies will be a thing of the past.

    Who will pay for those hospital and medical services currently paid by private insurance? Administrative cost is 8.3% so you still have the healthcare cost somebody will be paying.

    Who will pay the healthcare costs private insurance companies are now paying? It doesn't save any money it just shifts the cost.
