Let's see......World War I, The Armenian Genocide, World War II, The Holocaust, Ethnic Cleansing.... The history of 20th Century Europe is bloodsoaked. The Europeans have some pair trying to come off as 'enlightened' or more civilized than we Americans who sacrificed limitless blood and treasure trying to keep one half of Europe from annihilating the other half.
"Oh, really! You're from Europe? Which half? The half whose ass we saved or the half whose ass we kicked?"
Sigh, I am on a fools errand, I am trying to make you understand why healthcare is expensive in this country, but you re resistant to learning. I expect you to understand why prices are what they are, since you are pontificating about them.
Um. What? Where and when did you ever try to do that? Please, enlighten me on why prices are they way they are.
There are countless reasons why prices are the way they are in our healthcare system. One of the reasons it is so high is that young, healthy people are too broke to buy into the system, so it jacks up prices for everyone else who is enrolled. Obamacare is fixing that thankfully.
And I do think you are a fool, or a lemming, or both. You have provided absolutely no valid argument as to why we should not have more government involvement in our healthcare system other than "Our healthcare will be like the DMV"!

The entire history of Europe is bloodsoaked, for thousands of years, that is why we are who we are. The US involvement was just a minor recent incident, Europe would have muddled its way through history one way or another, like we have always done for thousands of years. What really made modern Europe calm down a bit was the creation of the EU (even if it is a monster in its current form) and the peaceful interconnections that brought about.

There is one main reason healthcare cost rise faster than inflation. What is unique about healthcare? The way it is paid for. when a third party pays for a good or service, there is no incentive for rational pricing or consumption.
Obamacare will make matters exponentially worse. Not to mention 30 million more people competing for the same resources.
