Just like Medicare is earned as part of one's pay. Medicare for all is the answer.Is it socialized medicine if you earn it as part of your pay?

Numbers, not sound bites.
Those are numbers...
GDP is not a number.
That is because Medicare gets to shove its administrative costs off into trick accounting that private companies are prohibited from using because they are illegal.
No, it's because very large bodies have bargaining power that allows them to push for things on their terms.
Really?
Tell me, exactly how does Medicare use this mythical bargaining power to control administrative costs?

What is it then? A magical shoe?
Socialized medicine
Do you know that congress has socialized medicine? So does the postal service and armed forces and veterans hospital workers and federal workers of all kinds. The government pays for their medical aide and prescriptions at a very, very low cost to the individual. Their retirement is among the best you can get paid for by the government. The government controls the cost of doctor visits, treatment and prescription. Guess what is the biggest socialized medicine received. Medicare! Social Security!
We pay 8,000.00 per person in medical and second largest is Canada at 4,000.00. Half the cost
Then Germany, France at about 3,000.00 and 2,000.00 and they are doing just fine.
But they are socialologically flawed.
Except when Bush's Medicare D gave up that bargaining power for drugs, as a payoff to Big Pharma.I read that Medicare's administrative costs is far lower than commercial for profit medical services.
