And the higher the costs will be.
Yep, you look at the portion of the government expenses that go to health care in countries with socialized medicine and it is huge. If the government paid the highest insurance premium rates for private coverage for each person or family in their respective state of residence, it would be far less expensive than ANYTHING that the government can come up with. The ONLY thing Washington seems to be able to do consistently is to at least triple the cost of what something should be.
