I'm not sure that healthcare costs will necessarily increase over time From the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, via the Kaiser Family Foundation: http://www.kff.org/insurance/upload/7692_02.pdf http://www.kff.org/insurance/upload/7692_02.pdf Spending on health care, which is a projected to be 17.6% of the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) in 2009, has consistently grown faster than the economy overall since the 1960s. In 1970, U.S. health care spending was about $75 billion, or $356 per resident, and accounted for 7.2% of GDP. Health care spending has risen about 2.4 percentage points faster than GDP since 1970. Please tell us the source of your touching faith that this rather well-established long-term trend -- one which has already bankrupted millions -- will spontaneously reverse itself.
