If you want a VERY informative look at healthcare costs in the U.S. and
why we need reform, get a copy of March 2013 time magazine. If you read
it un-biased, you'll see that something HAS to be done and I for one am
glad that we have a start.

The word "Paymaster" is going to gain popularity in the US lexicon.

Our premiums went up the smallest amount in 15 years. Less than 5%
vs. between 10 and 15% each of the last 15 years.

Yep, and Medicare, by law can't negotiate with either hospitals of
Pharma. That's quite a free market system isn't it.

Go read the article again. Medicare pays about 10% of the Charge
Master price on the bills they looked at.
That was a big part of what Brill was saying.

That isn't a negotiation. They're barred by law from negotiating. It's
a fixed price that Medicare pays. And, 10% of complete bull**** is
still complete bull****. the costs are way below that. Try again.

And, your conclusion is that we should not regulate hospitals,
insurance companies, or equipment manufacturers, or allow Medicare to
negotiate prices with them. Also, according to you, big money flowing
to politicians is just fine.

That says where the $ is, doesn't it. Is there no end to Americans
being shaken down for the enrichment of the wealthy?
