Health care reform needs a true single-payer public health care option. This is the only way we will reduce health care costs and achieve universal coverage. Huge savings can be achieved through prevention, computerization, standardization of records, smart cards, full access to generics, etc. A single-payer public health care option should not necessarily have to be subsidized by taxpayers.
Insurance companies make money by charging more and denying claims. They have devastated the American people with bankruptcy in record numbers. Special interests such as insurance companies, hospitals, drug companies have made huge contributions to corrupt Republicans to maintain the current dysfunctional system. We cannot trust the insurance industry to cut costs without an optional single-payer health care plan providing some honest competition.
