The chess battle over health care will cost you a lot of money. It doesn't matter what your ideology is it will cost you a lot of money, each and everyone of you.
Simply put, this is the story. Approximately 65% of medical dollars spent go to labor, directly or indirectly. That's the millions of people who provide the health care system, whether they work for a hospital or a biotech company. Labor is 65% of every dollar received by the medical profession.
The revenues for the medical industry (in entirety) can either be paid for by the government (TAXES) or by individuals (PREMIUMS).
When you pay the taxes to the government for the medical industry they are either called Medicare, Medicaid or something similar. When you pay the premiums to your insurance company they are paid for by your personal income. So you either pay taxes or premiums, both are used to pay the workers in the medical profession 65% of those two numbers.
No politician is willing to tell the people who don't work in the medical profession that medical expenses are destined to rise PERMANENTLY. The cost of labor is not going down so we will have a continuing rise of medical care costs. There is no competition. There is basically a single payer system and that's just the way it is. So forget the politics. It's bogus.
