        Here is the real question "why is health care so expensive?" Same question needs to be asked about college.

        those that don't, cost those that do far more than they care to spend. Social medicine may mean public trial for life saving treatment.

        problem is that those insurance providers have guaranteed revenue stream by ACA mandate.

        admittedly, the pre-existing conditions thing is a hard issue to resolve. But health insurance is one big hot potato.

        The issue here is that these healthcare providers are benefitting from increasing revenue and profits. How about they help people out?

        healthcare is expensive because hospitals dictate the price. That's not on patients.

        Better nutrition equates to healthier people. Where's focus on more organic, chemical free food? Pharmaceutical's have made$ on probiotics!

        Another thing that democrats refuse to acknowledge: Americans like choice, to pick their own doctors and not be boxed in by insurers.
