If healthcare is expensive now, wait until its free.

It would be far less expensive if the government had kept out of it and medicare had never started. At this point I don't know if there is any hope left, most hospitals spend far more money than would be required to furnish good care. I look at our local monstrosities and have no doubt that I could cut costs enough to save enough every week for me to retire on without compromising on actual health care and that is without considering all the permanent buildings and fixtures that never should have been built in the first place. Then there are all the incredibly expensive tests that are run just so that the doctors can avoid liability suits. I heard an older doctor on the radio some years back and he was saying that in his day they used to make a diagnosis and then run a test if necessary to confirm the diagnosis but now they run a test for every conceivable possibility to eliminate anything that might possibly be wrong other than what the doctor thinks the problem is.
