I am probably the exception to the rule, but when I read articles like this; Health insurance costs up 97% in 10 years: report http://articles.marketwatch.com/2012...alth-insurance there is a serious problem ...

The growth in healthcare costs has declined to 4% in the past year but this chart reflects the rise in government taxpayer paid healthcare costs being slowed down by the recent laws.

The cost of healthcare insurance is effecting the average workers standard of living. In my case; its cost would buy me a new luxury auto, etc.

Five of my cousins are doctors (3 medical doctors (specialists), 2 PhDs) and I am aware of their cost of schooling and in practice their cost of malpractice insurance and other ''business expenses.'' Still, they make bank but their educations cost astronomical amounts over the 13 to 15 years of college and internships, residencies, etc.

Point of the story, if you want to see a decrease in healthcare costs build more medical schools and train more qualified medical professionals. Right now, the supply and demand situation is manipulated to limit availability and support high costs.

Access to affordable healthcare is not a guaranteed constitutional right but in a developed country like the United States it is a human right.
