The non-market components of our health Care system drive costs up. We do NOT have free market health care, especially for people over age 65.

Another problem is that about half the adults here are FAT and they would rather take pills do deal with their pre-diabetic and diabetic conditions, rather than get a little exercise or significantly change diet. Any catastrophic health plans should do what life insurance plans do, namely charge higher premiums for the obese.
