Except where the overall budget money comes from.

And that overall budget money would be far less than it is now witout all those problems AND all the profit floating on top. Not to mention a lack of capitalist incentive to INCREASE billing at any chance.

I believe other National Universal care programs do just that by the providers being salaried employees therefore doing away with all the crazy billing concerns but I might be wrong about that.
