Imagine putting all those claims processors to work for fully funded, comprehensive, single-payer care. Cost goes down, successful treatment goes up. Imagine putting nurses, CNAs and PCAs in homes, rather than poorly run, overpriced nursing facilities.
No joke, it’s why some public health systems cater to tourists without cost. It’s just not worth it to set up a system to control and charge money from “people who shouldn’t receive care”, so just make it universal and be done with it.
Absolutely agree.
