“If the insurance companies can find a way to be profitable without undue and unfair help from Uncle Sam, God bless them. If they can’t, it shouldn’t be the taxpayers job to keep them afloat.”

Yes, and do you remember when it all started turning to $hit? That was when the insurance companies said: “Let us deal directly with your doctors and everyone who has a share in your healthcare. You don’t need to be bothered with submitting claims. We’ll do all that “for you!” And once you didn’t ever see what’s being billed, they all colluded to drive up the total cost of your care. There was nothing wrong with paying directly out of your pocket for a doctor’s visit when it was ten bucks, but now it’s at least $200 for twenty minutes and the bastard spends about half that time typing on the computer in the exam room, “building your dossier” on the state of your health so some bureaucrat can decide when you’ve become too expensive and need to “move on!” “Medical record keeping” has become the paramount reason for seeing your doctor, and that record is like a roach motel in that conditions are logged in, but the seldom “go away.” Every time your fart, it’s cast in stone.

Would you say the problem starts with the gov’t tax break scheme tying health insurance to employers?

Modern medicine is inherently unaffordable. Besides that, with the Obamacare system there's no incentive to discover or promote innovative, inexpensive solutions.

Everything that people can get insurance for becomes more expensive. Dental and veterinary bills, for example, used to be affordable. People made responsible decisions about the level of care to choose, when they were paying for it. It seems that in the two fields I mentioned, a critical mass of insured has been achieved and it's getting unaffordable.
