A better idea.

Editor,

Here is a better alternative: single payer health insurance, better known as Medicare for all, which would eliminate the billions of health insurance dollars that are wasted every year on:

*** exorbitant salaries for health insurance corporation executives,

*** redundant administrative costs across health insurance corporations

*** marketing and advertising costs health insurance corporations spend to "compete" for business,

*** skyrocketing health care costs caused by sweetheart deals between health insurance corporations, big pharma, and health care delivery corporations, and

*** a plethora of confusing and inadequate health insurance "plans" designed to short-change American citizens in need of health care.
