When health care is subsidized, no one should be surprised that people demand more of it and that the costs to produce it increase.So we're back to the same question: why does healthcare cost so much less elsewhere in the first world where it is subsidized?
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
