Quote by Anthony Weiner

What I am saying is, all health care has a problem with costs. Medicare is growing slower than the private insurance plans. Why? Because of their efficiency. They don't have to give money to shareholders. Why should be defending shareholders?

What I am saying is, all health care has a problem with cost

Summary

This quote highlights the issue of rising healthcare costs and compares the efficiency of Medicare to private insurance plans. The speaker argues that Medicare's slower growth in costs can be attributed to its lack of shareholder obligations, unlike private insurers. By questioning the need to prioritize shareholders, the quote prompts us to consider the impact of profit-driven motives on the healthcare system and implies that this may hinder cost-effectiveness and efficiency in providing healthcare services.
