Where did you get the data that states that Medicare/Medicaid has a 3% overhead? I worked for Medicaid for 15 years, I question that percentage.

From the GAO over the last twenty years, the percentage varies a bit year to year but has never even come close to four percent of total expenditures in any year. It is a simple equation, total amount paid out over the year versus the cost of running the agency. This isn’t rocket science, there is nothing complicated about it at all.
