Health care is expensive because health care IS expensive. What bothers me is
that the discussion seems to be much more about who pays and not why it's so
expensive. Tort reform and government deregulation could, by some optomistic
estimates, reduce the cost of health care by 50 percent, but the dems don't
want tort reform, Obama said so in a couple of his speeches. Nor do the dems
want deregulation, they want more regulation, much more.
Research is necessarily massively expensive. Research is necessary for good
health care. Government regulation and massive lawyers fees and lawsuit
payouts are not necessary.

The answer to the problem is to allow companies to create plans that people
want. Stop the govt from mandating that everything under the sun has to be
covered in every plan and let me choose exactly what I want to pay for. Let
companies compete across state lines, let small companies pool together to get
discounts. Lastly, why don't we get the govt to quit taking half my pay check
and let me put MY money where it needs to go.

The Health Care industry has had many decades to address the problems and they
have not done so.
Why is that? It is because they don't want to address the problems. They're
making money. They don't want to lower premiums or rate premiums according to
the insured's income. They don't want to deal with people who may have
pre-existing conditions. They don't want to pay for the insured person's
health care.
They DO want to collect premiums.
