We determined this would be less expensive than the current system in the USA. More than half the jobs in "health care" are insurance related. We would completely eliminate that overhead. Insurance analysts could be retrained for useful work like nursing.
A single fraud investigator could monitor 100 doctors or more. Instead of each insurance claim needing to be reviewed by the practicing physician and an insurance company doctor we could have investigators watch for patterns and cite doctors who are overprescribing.
We had some knowledgeable people on the team so I think we were likely correct.
