Are insurance companies lobbying to get the contracts to administer the proposed govt. health insurance?

Private insurance companies already administer the Medicare program. People blame the government for problems with Medicare, but the government doesn't administer it.

Insurance companies can lobby for anything they want but hopefully they are not going to get it this time. I don't actually know why taxpayers are currently subsidizing private insurance companies that run Medicare Advantage programs at a cost nearly 20 percent higher than Medicare but that has to be looked into as part of this health care reform.
