I dispute John's assertion that the private US
medical industry has a 40% overhead, at least in
terms of
proportion of Gross National Product expended.
Proportion of GNP is irrelevant. For every $100 paid
out in Medicare benefits, admin costs are about $3.
For every $100 paid out in benefits by private health
care insurers, admin costs (taken in TOTAL admin costs
in all parts of the system) are about $40. This is a
stunningly bad deal. John Barrere
