The for profit middlemen that provide no healthcare whatsoever need to be removed from the system entirely.

Even worse: they waste doctors' time by questioning everything in the hopes that the doctor will just find it easier to do the cheaper options.

Corrupt assholes talked about how a public option would lead to death panels that decide who gets to die. But the current system already has for profit life panels that decide who gets to get their treatments and live and who they can get away with delaying.
