Sorry, but get a clue. Healthcare has been a massive and rising issue in this nation for decades, specifically BECAUSE we've left it in the sole hands of the "private market", the health insurance companies and the pharmacudicals. The only reason over half the medical shit we need costs anywhere near what it does, is because they say it should. The so-called "Obamacare" act wasn't what we needed, what we NEEDED was the "Public Option" (accent on OPTION) that he originally championed, but Congress and special interests saw to that. Still, at the very least, the bill makes it so that stupid things like being denied coverage for pre-existing health problems will no longer happen. More people can GET insured. It's just going to still cost everyone money. It's not perfect, in fact it's still fucked. But it's better than it would have been under McCain/Palin, if that's where you're trying to go with that statement.

I'm guessing you haven't actually done a lot of resarch on the topic.
Non-profit health insurance costs the same and often times more as for profit health insurance which DEFINITLY shows that it isn't artificially inflated costs due to insurance.
Insurance has really low profit margins in general. Which is why the affordable healthcare act was just a bad idea in the first place if cutting costs was your goal, because it was targeting one of the few healthcare areas that wasn't a problem.
"Obamacare" will raise healthcare rates... nobody denies that anymore. It was done for "fairness reasons".
