I saw in one of your posts above where you said "Please stop with the name-calling. What's with the personal attacks on Obama; 'is intelligent discussion your intend or just personal attacks because my opinions disagreeable. Does personal attacks validates your view, or that's your method of support for your view?"

You've just blown your entire credibility through ignorance and hypocrisy.

And the government programs we have right now are focused more on hospital care, while private insurance focuses more on doctor care and drugs. Private payers are more efficient than government, they have to be. Government programs ration, and tax

The government is the biggest threat to
competition since it doesn't matter how inefficient it is- it writes the
rules, raises taxes and uses coercion to win in every instance

Using percentages is very misleading. The actual numbers are 5% vs 12%, but close to yours. If you look at the real costs however, medicare spends $522 per enrolled person on admin vs. $468 for private insurance. Using percentages is pure trickery, and very misleading.

I left Canada because my wife was crippled by a 2 1/2 year wait for surgery, my son received undiagnosed brain damage because of no CT scanner available, and my Mom had to get a double mastectomy because a lumpectomy and chemo/radiation was not available for those over 60.
If you want government medicine, I suggest you move to Canada and see how you like it when you need it most. I immigrated here because I love freedom

tell me why "the poor" cost more to treat than the rest of us? Medicaid also covers SCHIP....why do you think the poor and children are more expensive than privately insured?

The government medicine programs focus on hospital care, rather than physician and drug therapy, and their admin costs are higher plus there is much fraud and abuse. Those are the chief reasons that they are higher.
Remember that prior to 1965, over 74% of Americans were privately insured at which point the government decided it wanted to compete against private insurers and it created medicare to carve out the most expensive insured (the elderly), because that way they coudl collect the highest amount of money

the government controlls almost half of all healthcare sponding, but only covers less than 1/3 of residents, then why do we want to reward the inefficiency?
Who is John Galt?
