It is already established fact that Medicare is more efficient than private insurance: https://www.healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377/forefront.20110920....

6.1% profit margins is a lot when it should not be for-profit in the first place. Why is anyone making a profit off of administering necessary services?

What is the operating profit of your local firefighter brigade?

What is the operating profit of the interstate highway system?

What is the operating profit of your local water/sewer department?

Not a single person in this country doesn't need healthcare at some point. It's not an optional for-profit good.
