it has been proven the massive increase in medical costs lately is due to two things...it is frivolous law suites (and we have all seen the class action law suite commercials regarding harm from medications and procedures) and people who go through the ER but have no insurance and then disappear without paying. we are all paying for those individuals through the increased costs. instead of going after the reasons health care is increasing the government wants to reform it. socialistic health care has not been easy for any country. I use to live in one. when the government decided to cut spending during tough times...health care was where they went to first and the citizens were the ones who suffered for it. I could write a novel on this but wont. it doesn't solve the problem and if it does happen...it will only be a matter of time when people begin to see the problems....trust me on this
