[King Moonracer]

our system will start working properly again and health care costs will go down because people will stop wasting it and using too much of it.

Kind of like how when people conserve electricity, the electric companies raise rates to maintain profits.

"Kind of like how when people conserve electricity, the electric companies raise rates to maintain profits."

Electric companies are mostly monopolies, and thus they are not subject to our free market system. Entities that are not monopolies (health care) cannot raise prices because of competition in our system (they would lose market share to the other competitors).

Learn some basic economics and it will take you a long way to understanding all of this. Unfortunately, most people don't have a clue about how our free market system works or basic economics.
