You think maybe those $50 cotton swabs I had to pay for might, just might, have something to do with the fact that some hospitals are still able to turn a profit?

Remember: they are MARKING UP their prices for everyone with coverage, (and the insurance companies themselves have to raise the cost of insurance exactly because the medical costs rise), all of this to COVER the embedded losses they must endure from the uninsured.

So... YOU (and I) are PAYING already, and have been for years and years, through higher then necessary *medical bills* and higher-then-would-otherwise-be-required *insurance bills*.

There is no free lunch.
