No, you completely misunderstood. I'm talking from the health care delivery side.

It is one of the most-successful, least expensive health delivery systems in the world. It has very little overhead, it costs little to run, with nearly every dollar in the system going to medical care for those in the system.

As opposed to private insurance, where a great portion of premiums go to both administrative costs and profit-taking, with very little going to paying for actual health care for the insured.
