Well if you thought I was blaming Obamacare let me correct you! Obamacare didn't CAUSE IT. But Obamacare does not address it in any meaningful way and I believe actually makes things worse. The high cost of health care has been with us a long time - long LONG before Obamacare was even a dream. The high cost of health care has many causes, but the biggest is the "for profit" motive. Ever see a dr that didn't make much money? Obamacare doesn't address that - like in socialized medicine. Obamacare also does not address the huge cost of end of life cost. Alex - you really should try to understand the point I'm making. I'm Obama's biggest fan here. I'm not even bad-mouthing him about his health care attempt, because I understand that is about the best he could do. My point was that because the cost will not be brought under control, it might cause the entire health care plan - his plan - to fail. Now, once more - if you think health care cost are not going out of control - argue that.
