Apparently Democrats have promised to make healthcare affordable. However, their ideas are limited to single payer or shoring up the Affordable Care Act… Neither of which solves the root cause of insanely high drug and hospital and doctor prices.
The only way to truly make healthcare affordable is to either eliminate patents or reduce their effective period to three years with no renewals, and to eliminate licensing requirements for doctors and nurses, and to remove other regulations in healthcare designed to suppress competition.
We can do to healthcare prices what we once did to food pricing… Right now 27% of GDP is stolen by the healthcare industry from America’s total GDP.
