Wrong.
Why doesn’t McDonald’s charge fifty dollars for one hamburger?
When economic forces are put in play the market tells you what you can charge for that burger.
The federal government began giving/paying for services (to buy votes) without regards to the market ex. Medicare, Medicaid, CHIPS, etc. etc.
Then you end up with ObamaCare, billions upon billions will be spent.
No downward pressure.
No free market, no downward pressure on prices we end up with prices spiraling out of control.
Obama made the insurance companies the boogie man, it seems to have worked with you.

Obamacare, while a bad idea, has nothing to with the breakdown of medical care in America, nor the expenses. It’s a terrible response to a terrible system.

If the criminals in Congress had come up with any solutions at all, there would be no Obamacare.

The belief that the free market or supply and demand is driving prices the roof is wrong.

Insurance companies are taking the biggest portion of the profits in healthcare.

Very similar to how the mob offers “protection” to businesses.

Always follow the lobby money trail to know who is gently twisting the most arms.
