You are such a socialistic c*******t that you are completely ignorant of how a free market works.
Right now we are being gouged, because Obama and the Democrats have forced everyone to have to buy healthcare insurance, not free to choose what kind, or even to buy or not, and the insurance companies have us right where they want us, being forced to buy their product at wh**ever the cost. When people are free to choose, and to purchase or not, those companies start lowering their cost to entice customers to buy, and you'd be surprise how they can take the same books, make one set look like they're making no money', and make the other set look like their costs to provide their product are next to nothing.
Obamacare allows them to make their books like that of the first example, a free market makes their books look like that of the second example, for they have to pay dividends, or they'll be replaced by their stockholders, and in a free market, to make money to pay dividends, they have to be able to entice as many people as possible to buy their products, and if the cost of that product is too high, and people aren't buying it, they will find someway to force their companies costs down, so they can afford to offer their product at a lower cost to entice more customers to buy from them, so they can pay good dividends to their stockholders, and not only keep their jobs, but get raises for doing a good job, or they'll have to go out of business.
Everyone being forced to buy their product negates all those advantages of a free market, and not only allows gouging, but promotes it, so everyone down through the medical industry can make a k*****g. That's why it behooves the American people to keep their government out of private businesses, for participation in private business by the government skews a free market, and definately not in the favor of the American people.
A free market has worked for the USA down through our history, and is what made America great, as President Trump knows, if we go back to that free market capitalism again, then we will make America great again. How can someone who thinks himself to be so smart, can be so stupid, oh, that's right, through indoctrination.
Forcing everyone to buy a product creates and promotes gouging, and I can't believe you haven't figure that out yet. What do you think the cause of the tremendous increase in healthcare costs were, just after Obamacare became law, because it was so huge that it couldn't have been a normal market increase or surge? Do you not think that Obama, Gruber, Emmanuel, and all the other architects of the 'Affordable Care Act" (Obamacare) knew, expected, and planned it, and why they have said or done nothing about that tremendous increase in costs? What reason did the insurance companies have to raise their costs by so much, they actually have more custmers than they can serve or care to handle, thanks to Obamacare.
Obamacare was designed to fail, so the same thing would go on, that is now going on in the Senate. You will be very happy soon, because before this year is out, you'll find the RINOs in Congress, working with the Democrats to pass a "Single Payer" healthcare law, then what happened to little Charlie Gard will be the norm in our healthcare system. I surely hope that the ones that insisted on the "Single Payer" healthcare system, will be the ones, and their loved ones, that the government chooses to not allow the healthcare they need, and will let them die instead, than those and their loved ones who were against this a*********n to usurp the American people's rights to choose their own healthcare, doctors, and treatments, without any interference from the government.
But alas, we've seen the outcome in the UK and Canada already, and know the same will be here soon, and on a much larger scale, but unfortunately evil will not just infect those who asked for this evil, but also the good people who knew it was and is a great mistake and evil, for what good ever comes to a people who start giving up their rights freely, and without contention?

Among your ramblings you seem the think that if we drop health care for all that the insurance companies will be kind and cut rates to 50% of what the are now..
You should understand that right now you are paying rates the insurance companies insist on. You are not buying insurance from the government.
When did any big business do anything, other then gouge, those who have to buy the products they provide..
They are not looking to help you. they are the ones who have made the individual market such a mess, they imposed the life time limits and exclusions for those very sick and with preexisting conditions, that we had to deal with before the ACA
They are no ones friend..
