Everyone seems to be an expert in this room. Pretty scared to jump in.
Just to be devil's advocate, I will help ripper out. He's making very good points, but most everyone thinks him to be an idiot.
Why are healthcare cost so high?
The average cost to bring new medine into the market is $800 Million.

I have heard more recently that is more around $1 Billion. Believe all you want about corrupt pharmacutical companies, they need to charge high for medicine in order to recoup spending and to continue further research.
No one is turned away from the emergency room. There are a lot of people that come in and go out without paying. Who pays? Everyone else that comes through the hospital doors.
I really want people to have healthcare, but I will be damned if the goverment raises my taxes so I can pay for the heathcare of chronic smokers and fatasses that need to take their cholesterol pills with their supersized Coke and fries.
