One contributing reason as to why health care costs are rising for everyone is because of the already existing socialism in the US.<br> <br> It comes down to basic economics: supply and demand. The more demand there is for a product, the higher the price will go.<br> <br> The government takes tax dollars from the middle class to subsidize the health care of the lower classes as well as the elderly. Many people who are poor in the US are that way because of lack of discipline (not everyone of course). Combine lack of restraint with a product that is free and abuse sets in. Peach Care and other programs are part of the problem.<br> <br> With this free access to healthcare given to a group of people of which many have no discipline or restraint the supply is greatly eroded. Literally, more medicine and services are taken out of the market causing a smaller supply for the rest of us who have money to pay for them.<br> <br> Because there is less supply, the price goes up. The middle class picks up the bill again. We pay for it in the form of higher taxes and in the form of higher medical costs.<br> <br> Eliminate socialism and this will ease much of the burden.
