Thoughts about health care versus health care costs.
The short version? Government interventions into the health care insurance market drive prices higher for several reasons, one of which is highlighted here. To wit, should every insurance policy cover "chiropractors, toupees and acupuncture"? Isn't the requirement that these 'treatments' be covered just an example of rent seeking by their respective lobbying agencies, which allows politicians to curry favor at our expense?
I just won't be disgusted any more.
