Are you saying this, because it has still been going on, or it didn't happen before Obama got in office? I believe healthcare costs have been rising for decades now (one example going back to 2002): http://money.cnn.com/2011/05/11/news/economy/healthcare_costs_family/index.htm |
It's unfair to lay the blame for increasing healthcare cost on Obama alone (though he deserves part of the blame) as the lack of competition within the medical industry due to government and insurance systems.
I can't remember the last time I actually looked into the cost of any medical appointments or prodedures I have had because I am provided with no incentive to do so. If i were to receive incentive to shop arround the medical industry would be forced to take notice and compete like any other industry.
What concerns me most is not medical cost from my insurance but the increase in medicar and medicade spending on part of the government leading to increasing budget deficit in turn increased government debt to GDP ratio that is, I believe over 100% at this point and possibly on track to reach the levels seen right after WW2.
