RED MEDS
The U.S. health care system performs poorly in comparison to other industrialized countries and still leaves 45.7 million without health coverage and millions more inadequately covered. Private insurance bureaucracy and paperwork consume one-third (31 percent) of every health care dollar. Streamlining payment through a single nonprofit payer would save more than $400 billion per year, enough to provide comprehensive, high-quality coverage for all Americans.
