United Health: Awaiting the Earnings Call for Clarity

I'm not sure what the answer will be, but I can almost bet it won't be single payer system. American won't put up with a Canadian or British system. We are pampered here and they are sentenced to death and pain in a single payer system. When you may have a brain tumor and they tell you to get your MRI 4 months from now, you aren't alive in 4 months. Tort reform is the most imeadiate help, but after that it will be a matter of filtering out unneeded tests and such. Maybe price limits on certain items and procedures are due. My daughter just had a procedure and a bag of Saline was $500 and the needle insertion was $200. I would be arrested if I charged like that in any other industry, even car repair. All UNH does is make a deal with the payer and reciever and cash the difference. If they charged $50 for the saline and $25 to put it in, that would be a big advancement. How much do they get in Canada?
