Hate to be that guy, but citation needed. I don't know about all of the entitlement programs, but according to the AMA+, the official cost of medicare overhead was 3.1% in 2005. Which does not sound like a "huge fraction" to me. I don't know about other entitlement programs. I am always open to evidence. + http://healthcarereform.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=004083 http://healthcarereform.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourc...
