Yes, but part of the reason that they are skyrocketing is because of health insurance. If everyone paid cash or could only afford by paying cash or layaway, the prices for medical treatment would fall overnight.
I agree. But as far as I can tell, it's politically impossible to get there in one leap. We need a transitional plan. We need to adopt an incrementalist approach, like the Left.
Meanwhile, we need to take control of the cultural channels (schools, media, entertainment) to educate the public. Politicians won't do it, because they can't.
