Did it ever occur to you that increased removal of market forces from the health care system might be one reason for increased costs? Note that this is not just a function of government health care, but also a function of private insurance covering far more than insurance was ever intended to cover.

There was a graph in Consumer Reports some years back (can't find it online) showing health care costs over the years. There was a distinct upward "knee" in the line during Johnson's administration. Not proof of cause and effect in itself, of course, but something to think about.

Maybe the answer isn't to annihilate market forces entirely, but try to figure out how to bring them back into the system again. Not an easy task. Inflicting collectivist economics on a society is far easier than trying to reverse it.
