Well, insurers lose money because insurance is paying out when you get sick.

Where that happens is you have a uniform, small population, or at least smaller than the 300 plus million we have in the US.

And as a result-

it's a little bit easier to manage.

You could have a single payer system.

Everyone's bought into the same messaging, but we're a very diverse group of people, West Coast, East Coast, South, North.

It's very different in what people want, what people need, the jobs that they have.

So it makes it a lot more difficult to have a single payer system.

Also, as we know with the DMV tired example, but true, anything government run usually doesn't run very well.

Hold on a second.

Okay.

Hit me with it.

Is your DMV really good?

Oh, that would be good.

Instead of like Drive with Ryan Gosling, we'll have DMV with Rainn Wilson.

Yeah.

So...

No, okay, so in being fair, government bureaucratic institutions generally innovate less than private.

Problem is how many millions of people die during the reinvention process.

That's the tricky part.
