Lot of information there UT. This was interesting "we [Americans] overpay by about $477 billion per year, or $1,645 per capita."

I'm surprised that the administrative and insurance costs appear so low on that chart. It's easy for me to blame the insurance companies, I don't want to have to give that up.

Edit: Although if I'm reading the chart correctly, even though the biggest savings are not to be found in the insurance companies and administration, that is where the greatest rates of waste are located. According to this chart.
