Government involvement is the reason health care costs have skyrocketed. Health care costs mirrored CPI until the advent of Medicare and Medicaid.
"Before the advent of Medicare and Medicaid and the HMO Act of 1973, the private sector funded over three quarters of the country's health care expenditures, individuals paid nearly one-half of total costs out-of-pocket and health care inflation was in-line with the consumer price index (CPI)."

More government involvement is NEVER the answer to any problem.
