Health care inflation

The consequences of "free" and subsidized health care.
http://www.kaiserhealthnews.org/Stor...hospitals.aspx

Money isn't real.
Goods and services are real.

The answer isn't spending.
The answer is to increase the rewards/lower unnecessary barriers for healthcare providers.

Giving "free" money to healthcare consumers increases demand.
Without a commensurate increases in supply, it will only raise the price.

Question to any healthcare professionals out there:
How much of the profession has been "captured" by unnecessary regulation?
(Effectively funneling rewards to crony capitalists/bureacracies rather than those who actually do the work)
