Obama Care vs Republicans

To be fair, the same could be said of any industry. That's why price-fixing and collusion among competitors is illegal. That's not to say it doesn't happen, but at least now there is a *potential* element of competition in the healthcare marketplace.

We went through similar problems with automobile insurance in the 1960 and 70s. The solution was to change how insurance was conducted - at state levels. That included requiring auto insurance. Also was not fair - according to naysayers. But it solved skyrocketing costs. Permitted the free market to work properly.

Health insurance is being restructured to solve a similar problem. But increasing costs are not limited to how health insurance was implemented. If our extremists want to advance America, then we are already moving on to other parts of the problem - ie hospital billing. That could not be solved without Obamacare. It is now possible to fix reasons for skyrocketing hospital bills.

Unfortunately naysayers want to maintain a bad system rather than address problems. Unfortunately a discussion of how to solve hospital billing is impossible - because many have been told and therefore believe we want America to fail. So many want a defective status quo; have and refuse to offer any solutions.

So many critics. So few want to address or even discuss reasons for radically increasing hospital costs.
