Adding healthcare to the list of fucked up goverment agencies will be very bad for all. Trust our government to destroy our good health care, but health care costs have risen because of Medicare, Government interference, and allowing illegals/bums to get treated while skipping the bills. They force the hospital to keep many beds empty for that worst case emergency and keep it ready at a moments notice. That medical equipment is EXPENSIVE due to testing, support, and specialty nature of the stuff. All this equipment sits there ready for that huge emergency. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/thoughts-on-national-healthcare/195204)._
