@DW2 He sounds like a typical Leftist who doesn't know how anything with cause and effect works.
It's not just "making up prices." When these insurance companies like Medicare are FORCED to cover the fat, weak, AIDS-riddled, smoking alcoholics with additional pre-existing conditions, they HAVE to raise rates to keep up with how much they're shelling out for THAT health coverage. Free healthcare won't look like what we have now -- it looks like the V.A. and Canada's "just kill yourself" program.
