What is sad is that the whole rest of the world knows making health care public cut the cost in half.
Single payer?
Could be.
Single payer is where the government foots the bill for health care, but existing private providers like hospitals, clinics, medical offices, etc. still do all the actual work.
But I would not mind if the hospitals, clinics, medical offices, etc., were also run by the government, like they were back in the 1950s.
The doctors back then had more flexibility to do what they felt was appropriate, instead of everything being judges based on cost.
Nobody likes "bean counters".
It's not that you're wrong.
But a finite budget requires prioritization, "cost containment".
That's not an endorsement. It's an explanation.

When were those hospitals etc run by the government?
Under single payer the decision about treatments is entirely up to the patient and doctor - no arguments with an insurance company as to what's covered and what isn't.
