I don't object to comparing per capita, I just wasn't doing it initially.

Also generally anything driving the total cost up (except the increase in population, or things that drive an increase in population), also drive the per-capita cost up.

But then I did go ahead and consider per-capita costs

"Real cost per capita (considering all Americans, whether or not they are currently covered), would probably go up, because of the reasons mentioned above, and also because more covered people creates more demand for medical services, and more cost insulation for those services."
