>The thing we should be doing is asking why medical treatment is so damn expensive in the first place.

When the government mandated everyone get health insurance it was the same thing that happened to government sponsored student loans to attend colleges. Prices went way up. Institutions became greedy and wanted consumers paying more for their services. Insurance companies got rich. Just like American colleges got rich off the government backed and government enforced student loans. Now everyone cries "why! why! why! oh the injustice" yet these are the same people supporting government intervention in the market place, they wanted government to "solve" something and well they ended up taking money from us and giving it to their crony friends on wall street. That's all that happened.
