The army of middlemen the doctors and hospitals need to hire to deal with the insurance companies adds a lot to healthcare costs in the US. Not to mention the armies of middlemen hired by the insurance companies themselves.
While every healthcare system has administrators, the US system with its thousands of different systems interacting with thousands of other individuals makes for a nightmarishly complex problem. Doctors in countries with socialized medicine complain about the government administrators too, but at least they only have one system to deal with.
That may be true. I can only assure you that the army of government bureaucrats who do that work in countries with universal healthcare tend to be less efficient.
You can't assure us of that; the facts say otherwise.

Why provide personal assurances on the internet? That seems like a "trust me bro" approach.
So tell me, what is the relative cost efficiency of the U.S. Healthcare System vs France/GB/etc..?
People like to use the term government bureaucrat as a thought stopping term, when combined with trust me bro "assurances" it seems extremely hollow.
Give me a data/financial analysis instead of something that sounds like the advice two old dudes sitting in front of a five and dime pre-internet.
