Isn't what's really going on the following:

1. Skyrocketing costs due to the assumption that everyone is entitled to the type of care that once was unimaginable? Organ transplants, and so forth?

2. Skyrocketing costs for AIDS victims, who have a very good lobby?

3. Skyrocketing costs for retirees, who want to live forever, and also have a very good lobby?

Recently someone suggested, I am not sure on which thread, that the vast majority of medical expense occurs during the last few days of life, when the health care provider goes to extraordinary measures to prolong a life that is not salvageable.

We aren't really fighting about well-baby care, you know. The real agenda lies elsewhere.
