Insurance companies take a slice of the pie and cause doctors undue amounts of paper work and additional workers to handle getting paid and often today include a lawyer .
So to get that boil lanced and drained on your bottom , you have to pay everyone involved in collecting the money .
This is what has made health care so expensive .
We need to end the practice of insurance when it comes to health care .

Getting the government out would be better. Since 1965 when the government started getting more and more involved in health care the worse and more expensive things have gotten. I'll admit the insurance companies are no angels in this. They are just following government rules & laws.

It might make sense to have a publically owned, non-profit company where Americans can buy low cost, lower tier medical coverage. At the same time, however, private insurance companies should be able to sell upper tier policies that offer better coverage to those who can afford it.
I would have my reservation about a system in which the goverment has a monopoly. It would be too easy to coerce the public.

It is real simple. Government bureaucracy would add more layers of inefficiency and incompetence than the insurance industry. The U.S. has the best health care available in the world. Improvements can always be made but don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

So, how would the poor get medical care?
Government paying people's medical treatments is the answer.
