The insurance companies add absolutely nothing to the equation of
ensuring everyone has access to good medical care. In fact, they simply
make it more difficult.

What insurance does is create a target rich environment for lawyers.
Between the two of them you are right, it is a huge drag on the
economy. We would actually be better off without any insurance at all
but then people would have to plan for their own futures and their own
problems,

actually no. the number of successful malpractice lawsuits is very
low.

and as to no insurance, what 3rd world country do you live in where
doctors earn minimum wage?

and the middle class can hardly prepare for their futures when the
rich refuse to even provide them a living wage

you really DO believe the right wing fairy tales, don't you?

I believe tort is responsible for a few percentage points of the overall
cost.
