Interesting article, thanks for the link.   There is some logic to the belief that insurance coverage will increase the cost of treatment.    Assured of payment by the government in an uncritical way. providers were delivered millions of new customers and the public would provide most of the payment.    That was a pretty sweet deal for medical administration as well as care providers.   

We should also ask why the Party has done nothing to force medical providers with care for medicare patients.    Because of regulated pricing, physicians can apparently just claim they have no room to take on medicare patients.   It's happened with my mother-in-law and I'll be the same situation in the next couple of year.

The Party has no backbone when it comes to limiting profits of large corporations.  Start with a simple one, ban all public advertising of prescription drugs.    Look at viagra adds alone and you can see proffessional persuaders  picked sex over health to justify the expense.
