The irresponsible Obama supporters that don’t pay their medical bills ( or most other bills for that matter) and Insurance company policies both contributed to the problem too IMO (developed through talking to many healthcare providers in the past.) Allegedly, the non-payment rate was so high they had to overbilll the “paying” patients to make up the difference; almost the same result as socialized medicine if you think about it. I think the medical industry just went a little too overboard with it and the domino effect applied and it caused the price of medical care to rise exponentially.
