    Insurance companies are the middle man. Go find me any country that’s implemented single payer health care/dental/drugs and been more wasteful and siphoned more than countries with private insurance. It’s literally impossible. Insurance companies are meant to siphon money, that’s what profit is. Governments don’t have that profit motive so all the money goes to care.

    Miss me with that “government is inconstant, I only give my money directly to shareholders crap”

      Lol, like the government doesn’t siphon off money. I’m no fan of insurance companies either but I’d rather them than the government if I was forced to choose.

        Oh yeah health insurance companies famously siphon off less money than government single payer system. That’s why all countries with subtle payer systems spend less money and are healthier overall than countries that use private insurance. Oh wait, what’s that? The EXACT opposite is true everywhere in the entire world? Could it be possible that you’re wrong about government corruption in Canada? How could that be, you seem like such a rational well adjusted person. So weird, it must be a coincidence, or some kind of socialist conspiracy where socialism makes everyone live longer and spend less money but somehow evil.
