Political talk is getting more and more serious around Medicare for All in the United States. The argument, as usual comes down to costs. One of the advantages that proponents always bring up are the very low administrative costs of Medicare. Are those low costs for real? Would they hold up if everyone was in the system? Healthcare Triage looks at the facts.

Funny how when you take out marketing and profit from healthcare, the cost goes down.

Funny how politicians critical of MFA don’t make arguments anywhere close to as reasonable and correct as this.

Not an American but the network of doctors thing always seemed odd to me, only being able to go to a doctor on your insurance network seems nuts. Doing away with that and having just Medicare and all doctors accessible to all patients seems more sensible

Longtime viewer, first time commenter here. Like, I've been watching since the channel was established and promoted by vlogbros. Love your work, Dr. Carroll.

So yes... Still no excuse for the excessive healthcare costs in the US. Also, you need to look at the whole picture, not just administrative costs.

Care management by a private plan just feels like a cost-saving watchful eye, and a conflict of interest in you receiving the best healthcare

This was really great!

This just proves that we must remove private insurance if we hope to lower costs.

@jasonsmith5616 5 лет назад

We need to figure out how to stop price gouging in healthcare. Something so essential to human life shouldn’t be run like a business

any way to post links to the studies that are referenced in the videos?

Any politician against Medicare for All should lose theirs. Personally I think they should be tied to each other. They should get the same quality and quantity of the same value as the rest of us Average Joes.

Take away private insurance companies, make government the only buyer as an monopsony will make drug / device companies lower their costs for their products and services.

Looking at the administrative costs of Medicare for all are interesting, but if such a program were to be created tomorrow, as you've just pointed out that would be a small fraction of total cost. Ever plan on an episode (or maybe there's one already that I missed) going over exactly how much MFA would likely cost if it were to appear? And maybe just as important: for the average american who switched from average private insurance, would their health outcomes likely worsen or improve as a result of switching to MFA?

if the private part of medicare actually costs a lot to maintain, this is an excellent argument to get rid of private players in medicare for essentials and cover them fully.

@reinerwilhelms-tricarico344 5 лет назад

At least there is a way to effect the reduction of bureaucracy in Medicare by public oversight and required transparency. That is not the case in the private health care and insurance industry, especially as in many states private health insurance is in the hands of quasi monopolies that the public has no way to control. No transparency - business secrets - and competing bureaucrats in private health insurance vs. required transparency in Medicare administrations - which one do you preference?

@c00lhand208 4 года назад

Allowing for more sufficient competition between medical insurance companies would certainly help bring down the private administration costs. We don't currently have much of a competitive marketplace.

Interesting that you make networks sound like they're supposed to be good when I think they're a major problem with US healthcare... It took my dad 6 months of fighting with insurance about out of network issues before he could get surgery for his pancreatic cancer and know it would be covered.
