I could block such stupid comments, but I believe that an open discourse is more healthy and may actually produce new ideas. :)

What happened in 1980? John Stossel also showed a chart where all of the sudden the costs started skyrocketing. Like, 90 degree angle skyrocketing. What changed?

Yes, this is exactly what I am saying. Health care it too expensive in the US.

Not sure why you think this is propaganda by the Health Care industry. They are the biggest beneficiary of this system. If anything they would sure as hell try to NOT let people know how their government is ripping them off.

This looks like propaganda from the Medical Insurance Industry.

Health care is too expensive in the U.S.

That may be a reason that they spend so much on it.

Make it affordable for the average person!

It doesn’t have to be ‘free’!!!

IT IS NOT AFFORDABLE RIGHT NOW – THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED.
HEALTH CARE SHOULD NOT BE THE LUXURY THAT IT CURRENTLY IS.
