To some extent, no. But be prepared to pay more when medical staff remains relatively constant and the number of patients increases.

The government program part of this is the well publicized subsidies to those at as much as 4x poverty level. Those subsidies are coming out of the taxpayer's pocket. Unless someone is disabled, I shouldn't be subsidizing their coverage. I also shouldn't be subsidizing their going to an ER instead of a doctor today, but that's another debate.
