No shit sherlock, I already said that, unfortunately the fact that because TANSTAFL private market consumers have to make up for those costs through higher premiums.This is completely false.
Medicare and Medicaid reimburse providers far less than private insurance and have way lower overhead due to economics of scales (and of course absence of multi-million dollar executives).
What, did you think providers were just eating the costs?
If "no shit" then why the fuck would you say it is more expensive? It is not.
It is more expensive if you count the actual costs instead of just looking at the numbers the government publishes, in economics there are seen and unseen effects and both contribute to the final toll, I've already pointed out many of those unseen factors in this thread and you've completely ignored them since they are inconvenient to your strongly held opinions, nevertheless they remain real.
The TOLL is REDUCED HEALTHCARE SPENDING.
Medicare/Medicaid have long been driving healthcare costs down.
You're joking right? Healthcare cost inflation has been accelerating ever since the Federal Government got involved in the market and the more they get involved the more it has accelerated
...when did Federal Government get involved exactly according to you...is it ever since modern medicine got on the scene?
I know where this batshitnutery is headed and I have no interest in chasing your rabits down magical fantasies of government free healthcare system that takes care of everyone while self-containing the costs.
Never happened, never will.
