Good for you. I've given you too little credit too. Apologies.
However, make no mistake about it. If we'd never gone to war in Iraq, healthcare would currently cost more than it does. Being a for profit business, our healthcare system responds as much to what the market will bear as anything else. They don't regret how much it costs, the insurance industry celebrates it as it has made those who own it very wealthy. Give them credit though, healthcare as we allow the insurance industry to configure it also employs a lot more people than a single payer system would .. unfortunately none of those extra employees contribute to the actual delivery of care.
Question: how in the world can you keep saying you'll never need a hospital? Is that a faith-based belief for you? (I keep wanting to ask you if you're actually 13 but if you voted for Obama that can't be it.)
