Government and Medical Insurance Increase Health Care Costs

This topic drives me crazy.  I was listening to a discussion on national television.   The Republicans were defending first dollar medical insurance.  The Democrats were defending Obama Care. 

This is nuts.  Neither is defendable.  Both increase the cost of health care.  Involving any third party has to drive up the cost.  This is not rocket science. 

The most effective way of bringing down the cost of health care is to stop the involvement of the government and medical insurance in routine health care.  Routine health care should be between the patient and the health care provider.  No one else should be involved.  This is the only way to bring down the cost.  If you or someone you know is not capable to make their own decisions concerning their health care, I would recommend a relative to make those decisions instead of the government or some medical insurance claims representative.

I hate to harp on this issue, but the solution is so simple.  Check out some of my previous blogs.  How do we get our government representatives to wake up and solve the problem?  Most don’t seem to even recognize that health care and medical insurance are two separate and distinct things.
