I am all for finding ways to 'reduce the health care cost for all'.  


   Big Pharm and Corporate health syndicates hear that as 'I want to cut their profits'.  They are right, capitalist ideology for discretionary spending applies to some things, but medical care is NOT a Discretionary choice for most people when it comes to saving a family members life.

Both parties are slaves to their funding.  
=========================
   I saw my premiums rising, co-pays increasing, and deductibles going through the roof with my company sponsored plan long before the ACA was in anybodies mind.     The ACA is not the only reason that premiums have gone up.

   Of course it will cost more money to provide care to sick people that can't afford medical care.   Anybody who believed it would, were naive or stupid.    I knew it and accepted it because I had a good friend die  before age 30  because he could not afford the treatment.   I believe heath care should be universal
