        Answer is no-brainer. Exorbitant fees paid to hospitals & docs with no competition. Middleman cut to insurance cos.

        Any program that doesn't control those costs, pharma & all involved won't work. But AMA doesn't like cost control b/c afraid will hurt docs.

        Add to your reasons, ABUSE. Many Many who get Medicaid run to Doctors non-stop. In Wv, small town Dr. Offices and Hospitals, loafing halls.

        A single payer system would fix this problem quickly, but no one wants to talk about that fact.

        So Democrats can get more people on to Medicaid. Entitlement avoids insurance.
