Hello z:

When we spend a dollar for medical care, SOME part of it, I dunno HOW much, goes to the health insurance industry... But, WHATEVER that amount is, IF it's ELIMINATED from the equation, either money is gonna be saved, or more health care will be delivered..

No?

How would you pay doctors who would be forced to provide care at no cost?

Hello z:

I'm sorry if my answer was confusing.

Of the dollar you spend on health care, I only subtracted the INSURANCE INDUSTRY'S part.. It's like cutting out the middleman.. That means every penny you spend on your health care will go to your doctor and the hospital.

If you are in Britain and reach your expected age of death and still live? Good luck getting helped.

And there is only so much money alloted to its system. When the funds start running out? Good luck.

And in its best days, expect giant waits that are longer than your symptoms and too long to save your life.

It all boils down to money. Show me a way to do it without busting budgets or taxing the hell out of the public and I'll go vote on the other side. But I'm still waiting to see a viable plan which works and society can afford.

And before you conservatives gush on that statement, I'm also still waiting to see a conservative or Republican plan which amounts to any more than let the rich get richer and let the poor and sick go die already.
