Nope sorry, everyone will need health care at some point.
Please don't equivocate health care and health insurance. They're not the same thing. So much of this debate is trying to get past this fixation on insurance as the only way to take care of our health, and that's just nonsense. The insurance industry certainly wants to sell that view, but it's not true. Unless, of course, it's forced on us via government.
Of course regulations can control cost. Just look at Canada's drug prices if you don't believe me.
C'mon. Don't evade the issue. WHO will control prices? ie who will control how much vendors (people) can charge and how much consumers (people) will pay? Any chance it will be the same people who control regulation currently (industry lobbyists)?
capitalism keeps prices so low that Americans are richest people in human history. Do you wonder why prices are not low in health care??
Perhaps because there is no capitalism there.
Of course there is, that is why the prices are so high. Scarcity.
