Maybe if you had some facts - like they did - to back up your suppositions there might be a debate. For example, they use facts to make this point: "When administrative costs are compared on a per-person basis, the picture changes. In 2005, Medicare's administrative costs were $509 per primary beneficiary, compared to private-sector administrative costs of $453. In the years from 2000 to 2005, Medicare's administrative costs per beneficiary were consistently higher than that for private insurance, ranging from 5 to 48 percent higher, depending on the year (see Table 1)." "table 1" contains facts while your post does not. What do you claim the per-beneficiary cost was in 2005 for Medicare vs. private insurance and how did you derive that number? Show me all your awesome facts! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
