I agree it's a parasite. I don't agree that what the parasite takes from the system is that much. You will need state run bureaucracy with single payer. It will cost a lot of money. Maybe less than the current parasite but I don't think the numbers ate there to claim it's the biggest problem of the system.

There's a difference between a bureaucracy and a parasite. A bureaucracy is part of the necessary complexity of a healthcare system. What's not necessary is a profit motive. I would say it doesn't matter whether or not insurance is the biggest problem of the system, it is a problem because its purpose to to extract profit from any available nook and crevice. Profit motives elsewhere in the system are also a problem.
