If Uncle Sam would butt out, healthcare costs would stabilize at affordable levels...just like EVERYTHING else does when there's no government intervention.

And a higher tax rate, unemployment and lower GDP.
Look at Sweden, for instance. Their average income tax is ~57%. They also have a 25% VAT on many things. Their unemployment rate is still above 6% and their GDP is a fraction of ours (500B vs 18.5T).
