This is why cutting healthcare from $3 trillion to $1.5 trillion by mandating what businesses can charge who are still subject to free market overhead costs isn't possible. This is why socialism and free market capitalism can't coexist. This is why countries that try this are failing miserably to provide quality services and are deficit spending themselves into debt oblivion.

The other primary issue with the rising cost of healthcare is frivolous lawsuits. Every time a doctor or nurse makes a mistake or if someone dies someone always gets blamed and hospitals get sued and not for small amounts of money. When you work in the business of peoples lives......that's always going to be a problem but at the same time it's a big reason for skyrocketing medical costs.

So let's tell doctors who are making $100 on an office visit you're only allowed to make $50 now, but guess what, you can't get sued any longer if you screw up. A bureaucrat filled committee will determine your punishment instead.

Who the hell wants to go through 7+ years of college, run up $300+ thousand in loan debt, just to make half as much as before and be under the scrutiny of politically appointed committees?

We will stop getting quality doctors and healthcare professionals and the system will spiral down the drain. All while still being massively under-funded, leading us further into national debt, and destroying our economy even quicker.
