Good thing the moral hazard of getting unnecessary healthcare that your doctor ordered for you is controlled for.

Perhaps someone should also control the moral hazard of the people owning and running this racket getting unnecessary amounts of money, or an unnecessary seat at the table.

The moral hazard is making a product with nearly totally inelastic demand a multi layered adversarial free market with structural price opacity. Thanks Reagan!

Reagan hasn't been president for close to 40 years and died more than 20 years ago. At what point do we accept responsibility for this instead of blaming dead presidents?

Everyone is in on the grift in the industry. Obama wanted to go single payer but realized 10% of america would be out of a job if we streamlined the bureaucracy

Nah, the problem was that the blue dog democrat congresscritters (holding usually red districts) would have been out of a job.

So instead of single payer, everyone got the ACA, and then the blue dog dems lost their jobs anyways.
