and first let me say that I am personally in favor of a single payer universal system myself. And I also agree that it would be more efficient and cost effective. And legislators and insurance companies know this as well.. But the reality is that here in the US the insurance industry is making billions of dollars each year from our current system and I am not naive enough to believe that they are going to give that up. So if you have a specific plan of action that would convince insurance executives that they need to forego billions of dollars in profits, bow out of the picture for the overall good of society, and let us change over to a single payer system, not only I, but millions of others, would sincerely love to hear about it. What's your plan?
