   We already have a partial single payor option called Medicare. But to your point, the healthcare/insurance issue is two-fold 1) doctor says what is needed, but patient doesn’t see the bill (until recently), the insurance pays. So no incentive to keep costs down and 2) malpractice lawsuits and their large payouts result in doctors being very conservative and ordering more tests/procedures to avoid lawsuits (and their insurance is really high as well).
