First and foremost....insurance premiums go up as a domino effect of rising hospital costs due to non-payment of others.
As well as hospitals passing on costs due to non-payment and ever decreasing payment from medicare.
As well as passing on cost of unnecessary tests to avoid risk of lawsuits.
In other words....everyone is concentrating once again on the symptoms rather than the cause.
I would say that spending our precious health-care dollars on corporate jets and fancy cars for the owners of the non-competitive private bureaucracies that we hire to track premiums and pay the bills is stupid and short-sighted.
Give me at least as many choices in health insurance as I have for auto insurance or give me a public option like Medicare to buy into.
