A gov middleman would still have the SG&A costs, they just wouldn't require the 5% profit. You save 5% profit but costs balloon because no one is managing them.
It would be good for you in the sense that you're not being told you can't do a surgery when you want to, but it certainly wouldn't cut total health care costs to the consumer.
The reform I'm lookin for is in cutting costs, not in giving more power to docs.
