As soon as government got into the insurance business prices went up
and quality went down.
According to the Goldwater Institute, health care prices went up in
parallel to the prevalence of private insurance. And the big spike
corresponds to the inauguration of Ronald Reagan. Look at the graph on
this page:

You need alternative forms of medicine.

HMO's were a big cause. People went to the doctor for more stuff. Kid has
a cold, go to the hospital. etc. Plus the rest of the world pretty much
rips off our medical research and gets the use without paying for the
research. Plus go to the emergency room and they run a large battery of
tests just so they can defend themselves in malpractice suits. Plus the
paperwork required by insurance and government regulations adds a huge
burden.
