Price fixing, collusion, and cost shifting by health practitioners and insurance companies. The problem is not access to health insurance, it's out of control medical care cost.It cost our economy more to have the market based system we had before the ACA then single payer does in every country it is tried.
How do you explain this?

Exactly. The stupidity of Commie Care is that they just shifted the cost to other entities but never addressed the cost in the first place.
If you are going to have improvements in our healthcare system, step one is to address the cost. Then step two is to figure out how to pay for it.
Thirty years ago or so medical costs were not an issue. Insurance was cheap because medical care was cheap. What happened?
There are a lot of answers to that question, but none ever looked at carefully. But if you do, you find government behind just about every one.
Only an idiot would expect the entity that created a problem to have the solution to it.
