But, rather than relying on ever-increasing government spending on healthcare, a better solution would be to decrease government involvement. Since Obamacare was passed, unsubsidized premiums have tripled.
This makes it very difficult for small business owners, and anyone in the middle class who does not have employer-provided health insurance.
Greater government involvement in paying for healthcare reduces competitive pressures for providers to keep cost down. The more the government pays for health insurance, the more the insurance companies will charge. The stock value of insurance companies has soared since the passage of the Affordable Care Act.
Ultimately, consumer value happens when private companies compete in a free market. Sadly, the U.S. healthcare system is far from this.
