- lotsofpulp 5y agoConceptually, I think the MCO (managed care organization) system works as well. In a taxpayer funded system, the MCO activities are performed by government employees directly. In an MCO system, there is some extra overhead, but MCO profit margins are 5% or less, so it is not terrible. It is just that everyone needs to be forced to go through healthcare.gov, and I don’t see why Medicare or Medicaid should even be a thing. The hodge podge of systems is the worst of all worlds. Of course, I know why it is a hodge podge, and that is because increasing the amount of healthcare available to everyone would increase costs and hence taxes and/or premiums.
