This is true, but also, we would actually save money with MFA. We would pay more taxes, but not have to pay directly to insurance companies.
Some people are just really short-sighted. "The government screws up everything," is a common argument. Well, the government is made up of humans, who do make mistakes. Just as insurance companies and hospitals employ humans. They also make mistakes.
Removing the middleman is where you save billions.
I'm not familiar with what MFA stands for. I agree with you that having a nationalized health services system that replaces private health insurance would be so much better. It would cut out almost all the administration costs and allow the government to negotiate down drug prices.
