> Your just being deliberately obtuse as always When you’re backed into a corner, you appear to resort to name calling and hostility, as always. I’m directly addressing your arguments by showing you that reality is a lot more complicated than you seem to think, by the numbers. Your entire world view neatly fits into a packaged ideology that only seems to reconcile with a warped version of how the US actually works (as well as other countries). > Insurance companies should play no role in healthcare, and they certainly don't where I live. I understand you feel that way. What I’m saying is that my software is used by your government. My job will exist regardless of who is actually paying for healthcare, because I’m not in the business of financing, I’m in the business of claims processing, provider payment, and automated price generation. These are functions that government payers also use to pay physicians and to drive their per capita costs down also. It will always be a part of the value chain. Also, private insurance companies play a role in healthcare in many prosperous countries, including Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand.
