Medical care is expensive only because insurance companies make it so by destroying the marketplace. If no one had insurance, physicians and surgeons would have to accept what their patients could afford. $30,000 fees for one hour in the operating room would disappear and those providers considered too expensive or incompetent would be forced out of the profession. We don't have insurance to help us pay for our homes or cars or children's education. If we did it would take nothing for a similar situation would develop in those situations also.
