Hugh, remove the government from health care, and we're still faced with an unsustainable rise in costs. These costs are directly borne by businesses and employees. The static 65 yr old target for retirement/Medicare and rising life expectancies raises the hurdles further.

Society must decide which is more important, 1) basic health care for most/all Americans, or 2) pills for guys with limp ding-a-lings. Eventually, we must decide, because we can't afford it all.
