The price for health care in the US has been out of control for two generations. I disagree with the premise that the Federal Government can force individuals to buy health insurance, but I recognize that we pay far more for health care here than anywhere else and the care simply is not superior to many countries that pay far less..
To my mind the real problem, is that far to many in this country irregardless of political affiliation have absolutely no problem with expecting the tax payer to fund any procedure no matter how costly or how useless.
I guess you’ll be tickled pink when there are no more health insurance companies....right?? That;’s the whole end game with Obama nd the Dems....SOCIALIZED MEDICINE.....INFERIOR MEDICINE FOR ALL!!! Well, except for the powerful and wealthy.
Rein in medmal and many of those increases you complain about would go bye bye.
Rein in the FDA, and the myriad other regulation and interference from government and the rest would be history.
Why would you blame them for something done by your legislators? The carriers have to follow the public policy.

Just as PJ O'Rourke said: "If you think health care is expensive now, just wait until it's free" The blame for this can be placed squarely at the feet of government "MediCaid" and the complicit non-profit hospitals (cost shifting)

Good, most people do. But now they can, thank you Supreme Court.

That's a RAT talking point, and it is superior. The reason it costs more is because you're also paying for the free treatment of some parasite.
irregardless
That is not a word.
