RT has probably already hit you on this -- but you are living in a fantasy world.
For example, Medicare's admin/overhead costs are consistently at or below 1% of the total claims submitted. That is vastly better than ANY private insurer. So go ahead, cut that "waste."
When faced with reality -- you would be forced (if you are an honest man truly concerned with the fiscal well-being of the country) to support tax increases of one kind of another -- as did Bush 41. Then the unprincipled demagogues and/or ignoramuses on both sides of the aisle would crucify you for doing the right thing -- as they did with Bush 41.
