Have been hearing this for years. Same old BS. Health industry overcharges and has crafty ways of doing it. Fancy commercials as well. Insurance company I had very good, would even try to warn you that your health care provider was about to stroke you.

There is no answer until we get a grip on COSTS.
I don't care if next year we pay $1,200 a month with $12,000 deductibles and $150 co-pays. IT WON"T BE ENOUGH.
Priced controls and clipping the medical giants wings is the only solution. Anyone who thinks there is a legislative action that can magically make premiums $400 a month with out cost controls is not paying attention.

Get rid of all the damn freebies would make costs lower across the board where as price controls will just make people not work. If you would pick up a history book and read about the fall of the Roman Empire You would have learned this.
