It’s also the reason healthcare costs are so absurd.

If they had never started to socialize healthcare so many decades ago, costs would have stayed manageable for lower and middle income people to afford purely out of simple economic forces.

Put more money in people’s pockets and the price of things they purchase goes up. Funny how that happens.
