This is why I'm so annoyed that we are not addressing the actual issues with health care pricing though, and instead seem to just be trying to shift the cost without fixing it.

Unfortunately, it comes down to them saying, "The bigger piece of the pie we get from either the government or the insurance companies, the better service we can be to the local community in the long term. Shut u and sign this so we will all be better off."

It's too complex therefore they resort to soundbites and bs. People buy it. It's sad.

No reason for it to be complicated.
