Will replacing the "middle man" the health insurance companies with a huge government bureaucracy?

Really lower the cost of health insurance? Whats going to lower the prices that HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS are charging? Nothing?
--------------------
No one is replacing the Insurance companies as the middle men. Just adding the competition needed to bring down the costs. What the for profit Health Care Industry is selling is a false sense of security to those who are healthy and paying them premiums then when the person is sick and needs bills covered the companies refuse to pay the bills. The person who is ill has to fight them in court to receive the service they had been paying for while they were well and now have need of it. The Industry makes profits decisions at the cost of peoples lives. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0iIp1LWA… Canceling policies of good faith leaving the insured person without coverage to die answer is "we regret the nessesity" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVSxhjftE… Denied a kidney transplant with the claim that it was "Experimental" then bowed to public pressure to allow the transplant just hours before the 17 year old girl died. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_pValNTe… The family seeks murder charges for CIGNA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w2NR2gnL… There was outrage over the death of Neda, an election protester in Iran. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8jeEnlc_… Where is the outrage for Nataline Sarkisyan who died for the CIGNA Health Insurance profits? My preference would be single payer system which is what is used in France with success or Universal Insurance which is used in Germany. Both of these countrys appear to have already recovered from the recession. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/finan… However, a public option is a compromise of choice to avoid disrupting the already established for profit health care system. This would keep the for profit Insurers "in check" and lower costs for every one. CIGNA Wnistleblower Yahoo! http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/player/p… Without that option there is a chance that the for profit Industry may make reforms only to jack up the costs higher then anyone except the very wealthy can afford. Got to give those CEO's their private jets and gold plated dishes you know.
