    A good @sangerkatz piece to keep in mind analyzing the Sanders bill: to save money, Medicare will have to say no.https://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/02/upshot/the-real-reason-medicare-is-a-lousy-drug-negotiator-it-cant-say-no.html?mcubz=0&_r=0 …

        I'm fascinated to see a single-payer push when the horrific VA example is such low-hanging fruit Republicans can use to rebut the prospect.

        How can getting rid of the Zero-added value, ginormous private health insurance industry in & of itself not save money?

        It saves some money but health insurers are fundamentally pass through entities so premiums are mostly a reflection of prices and quantities

        So, single payer could say no. Also - in Norway, if price is too high relative to effect, it's not covered.

        That is certainly possible. But it’s politically difficult and involves tradeoffs that are not always acknowledged.

        Do private insurers PAY LESS THAN MEDICARE for any drugs or procedures? If so, how do they do it?

        Problem: rules that keep us constrained. Solution: no more money for private drug research. Change the rules. Just say no.
