Yup, right from the horse’s mouth, comes this statement that the Obama Administration believes that cutting brokers out of the health insurance equation is the right thing to do.

Nancy-Ann DeParle, President Obama’s director of White House of Health Reform, speaking during a recent media briefing, said of health care reform: “A public plan is something that’s sponsored by the government, and therefore has very low or almost nonexistent administrative costs, compared to others. It doesn’t have the need to have brokers out selling; it wouldn’t have the need to have a lot of costs and profits, the way private plans would. So it has that advantage.”

This from an Oxford- and Harvard-educated professional who served under President Clinton as head of the Health Financing Administration, which today is known as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Studies.

It sounds as if some of the old Hillary-Healthcare speak is back in practice.
Yes the administrative costs for Medicare are tremendously low.

And 1-800-Medicare has grate customer service. Just ask your grandparents!!

What do they expect the thousands of health insurance agents to do?
