Pundits Are Wrong: Healthcare Reform Will Increase Profits

OK Wisdom - In the US the government currently pays ~50% of healthcare costs. Insurance companies pay 35%. The rest is out of pocket. Our regulations are onerous and certainly support high profit for healthcare providers.

So in case you didn't notice, we already have a quasi-socialist system without competition and rising prices of ~10% per year. What makes you think that this is sustainable? What makes you think that the current US system is capitalist? Our healthcare results are comparatively inferior to countries!

So what are you defending, except for an unsustainable system that does not provide adequate care and will strangle the USA with rising costs!!
