Obamacare was Romneycare was the establishment plan of both Dems and Reps. Obamacare is an odd chimera of government power (you have to buy a product) and local private monopolies (no competition across states between the insurance companies). The consequence were obvious, if the gov. forces you to buy a product from local monopolies, it will get expensive speedily.
To lower costs, you need competition to drive insurance premiums down to the real cost level. Secondly Americans have to learn to take better care of themselves, costs for e.g. Diabetes II are enormous and can be avoided entirely.
