It’s reasonable that healthcare costs more than car insurance, there’s a smaller supply and it requires more science and ideas. Insurance companies take advantage of the system but that’s far from the beginning of the problem.

If you take away the ability of the insurance company to measure risks, and thusly sometimes unfortunately turn people down with pre-existing conditions, the insurance companies will fail and all that will be left is a monopoly of government run healthcare.

There’s reasons we need the marketplace in healthcare. There’s more than one way to treat medical conditions… if the gov’t is in charge for paying for the treatment they would mandate that the most inexpensive way to treat conditions is the one that’s used. Putting important medical decisions in the hands of politicians instead of doctors. There needs to be incentives for people to develop new drugs… and freedom needs to be kept by doctors and scientists so they can research and evolve without be hindered by government.
