44. A single payer health care system would probably save money for
the good majority of citizens in our country, as you point out. The current system costs billions in administrative costs that could be greatly reduced with a well thought out single payer system.

But those billions in administrative costs represent PROFITS for some very wealthy corporations and individuals. THAT is why we have so much hostility towards government sponsored health care IMO. I can't prove it, but I just have to believe that this aversion to decent health care for American citizens is being fueled by greed.
