That's true, but it only covers prescription drugs. The rest of the system is single-payer.

Not that we need single-payer, just more controls on costs and benefits. Germany and Switzerland do fine without single-payer.

Medicare Advantage includes Parts A,B,D and are run by private insurers as well.

Part C plans offer Part A and B through private insurers.
