5. Perhaps the public option would stop the practice you are referring to.
Besides the insurance industry, I'd also like to have the issue of doctor and hospital fees addressed. Do doctors really need to be millionaires? Sure, their education costs a lot, but some doctors make unbelieveable amounts of money. Like 2 grand for 20 minutes of work? And hospitals? Do they need to be so rich? What about not-for-profit hospitals? My point is that health care costs are out of reach of the average person, but not just because of insurance.
