That, and all of the “free” stuff you now have to provide, similar to covering oil changes in car insurance. Plus the free birth control for all, etc., etc.

Doctors and Hospitals have no reason to limit costs when they have the option of government approved cost-shifting always open to them.
It’s the same with Universities - why cut costs when you can just increase federal-government loan fueled tuition.
Unless you are already broke, stay healthy, or you’ll be broke too.
