US could save $600 billion in admin costs by switching to a single-payer system
The US' sky-high healthcare costs are driven by the oversized admin spending burden private insurance places on hospitals and other providers. On average, the US spends $2,479 per patient on admin costs, compared with $551 per capita under Canada's single-payer system.

Researchers conclude that the cost discrepancy is primarily the result of bureaucratic hoops US healthcare providers must jump through to fulfill complex billing arrangements.

A shift toward a single-payer Medicare For All system could be a potential balm to the current admin cost crisis.

Business Insider Intelligence's Zachary Hendrickson has the full story.
