Most don't realize how "privatized" our public programs have become.  Medicare Advantage is one example and in that the deal insurance companies get is more of our money thus making it more expensive to the government.  In MN and WI the managed care insurance companies control the programs funded by Federal Medical Assistance and state tax $.  And, in both states those insurance companies are not held accountable via things like audits even though the original deals many years ago included language requiring them.  Managed Care is an oxymoron; it really is Making Cash for the rich and not about providing good health care for all.  There has never been real proof that managed care, accountable care, etc. organization approach saves money or improves care.
