Why is health care so expensive?
The Democrats are championing universal health care - saying that health care/insurance is so expensive that people are doing without. Well here are two reasons why health care is so expensive.
"The teenager who hasn't had a date. The woman married 30 years to a devoted husband. The celibate priest.
These are among the millions of Americans who may soon undergo their first HIV tests -- not because of any high-risk behavior, but because federal officials believe testing should be routine for all Americans ages 13 to 64."
"Michigan State Senator Beverly Hammerstrom wants to vaccinate all 6th grade girls against cervical cancer. Actually, she wants to vaccinate them all against strains of human papilloma virus (HPV), specifically the types that cause 90% of genital warts and 70% of cervical cancer cases. Because these high risk HPVs are sexually transmitted, experts argue it is best to administer the vaccine before girls become sexually active."
Anytime you start mandating what tests to give to whom and what vaccines to give to whom, then you are driving the price of health care up and up and up and up....but then again that is what the Dems want. Drive up the cost so that individuals can't afford it and then the people will look to nanny government to make it all better for them.
If they really wanted to help, they would get the heck out of the way and let the people take care of themselves.
