There’s only one way to ‘eliminate the middle man’, and that’s universal health care

So there are no middle(people) in Medicare? Or the defense industry? Single payer may just as likely future calcify the structures.

    Sooooo close to getting it.

    I checked out "How does Medicare work?" [1] and, wow, that's so much more complicated than healthcare in Canada. A big part of the problem is that Medicare has to work within the current broken structure of the US health care system and pay those same middlemen.

    But what the US has is so much worse than the how the rest of the developed world has "calcify the structures".
