This is what happens when you lead a civilization down the road to serfdom. People become irresponsible & take things for granted which then allows others to take advantage of them…

This is what is happening to college tuition too. Why has the cost of college gone up? Do books and building cost more? Does electricity cost more? Yes, but not enough to account for the increase. The less that people are responsible for their education costs, then the more colleges will take advantage of it. Some now want to make it even easier to pay for tuition. They want you to pay it back over your lifetime. Colleges and Universities can raise prices even more; what the “market” will bear.

@Depravedmaniac666 Agreed. But you’re not the healthiest. So I guess you need some kind of change right?

The free market system is a great idea, but the way you have it in the US doesn’t work, since the goverment have no sustainable way of inspecting companys that push the prices (verry) high and keep the sick and poor out.

Why not introduce a system that combines a free market with less goverment CONTROLL, and with the goverment/state INSPECTING companys that needs that ?

@Depravedmaniac666 Obamas idea = 3 / 5 , but at least he has one.
We have a simmilar system here in Sweden and at least it works a lot better than what you’ve got now.

Our health care is profit. Everything for profit, about money for big companies even the new reform is going to help those companies( insurance and drugs )

Because healthcare is the backbone of society alongside education and needs to be consistent?

However I do agree, for a flu or slight fever that these people should pay for themselves.

Ah yes, the zombie idea that health care costs have risen so high because US “consumers” are driving from clinic to clinic, collecting unnecessary bandages, shots, and surgeries willy-nilly without caring about price. Too bad it has little or no empirical evidence to back it up. Anyone who studies health care systems seriously should know that the fragmented nature of the US payment system (i.e. many insurers) has allowed for skyrocketing costs. “Moral hazard?” Yes, but not on the patient side.

“Why do we as a society think somebody else should pay for it?” The one thing almost everyone in the US fails to understand is the redistributive function of health insurance. Insurance in health care is NOT just about personal risk reduction. WE pay for OUR health care, by pooling our resources. Every other civilized society gets this simple concept and ditched profit-driven health care *financing* decades ago. Oh, and they all spend less on health care and have better health outcomes.

Look up USA today, Oct. 22nd. “Feds accuse Michigan Blue Cross of anticompetitive contracts.” THIS is what happens in the REAL world. We need more personal responsibility for costs? Wrong tool for an imaginary culprit.
