I think one of the biggest problems with health care is that there is little or no competition in many cases, especially hospital costs. I don't see where Hillary's or most other plans do anything to foster competition. Where there is little competition prices are naturally going to go way up.
There was a special on 20/20 the other night where they pointed out that most insured people do not ask and do not care what medical procedures cost since insurance picks up the majority of the bill. Most people do not ask the cost and when asked most doctors do not know either. We were asked to imagine what would happen to the price of food if we had grocery insurance similar to the way most health care insurance works.
