"Single Payer" is the only method to bring down and control health care costs. After the Affordable Care Act was passed and health care insurance companies, hospitals and doctors were provided more patients with far better care possible. A health care system that allows physicians and surgeons the opportunity to see their patients healthier with better longevity with a new health care insurance; as it worked out it wasn't enough.

Physicians assisted their patients in California to purchase insurance on the exchanges rather than accepting the Medicaid they already had. Then with all those sicker patients on the exchanges the insurance rates went up because of the infusion of chronic health conditions.

The country learned while physicians and major hospitals were advocates for their patients to pass the ACA, it turned into a place to be exploited with increasing health care costs. It wasn't enough the physicians, surgeons and hospitals had less patients coming to the ER when all they needed was a doctor's office; they had to take it further and increase the cost of health care.

The ONLY way to stop this hideous "capitalism based" health care is to issue "Medicare for All" and rein in the costs and allow reasonable profits to health care systems that are suppose to be non-profits.

It is about the costs. The costs of American health care is out of control. We tried it their way and they bank rolled a system that was to be ethical and compassionate. Enough.
