Default Sober thoughts on health care

Medicare is not going to be a good example for you to hang your hat
on. A lot of the administration is actually done by the health care
provider and SSA/IRS does the accounts receivables. It is hard to get
a fair number to compare.
You also have to understand that taking 3% of every wage dollar earned
in this country they are still going broke providing health care to
16% of the population.

Right, and Aetna HMO takes 50% of my wife's wage dollar.
And we seldom use it. I call it Keep-Your-House insurance.
