The answer is that the lack of universal coverage and high costs are intimately linked ”both economically and historically.

This unsupported assertion is utter nonsense!

There is no credible evidence that universal coverage works.

There is no credible evidence that single payer works.

High costs are the direct result of government interference in the health care industry.

Personal responsibility in a free enterprise environment results in low health care costs for all.
