Just imagine how low your insurance would be if 70% of the country wasn't on government Healthcare insurance.

Exactly. A lot of these exorbitant costs is because of Medicaid and Medicare having such low reimbursement rates.

And Medicare is actually decreasing payments to providers this year. Some doctors are even starting to refuse accepting Medicare.

Indigent patients (ie illegals/homeless/etc) are another primary driver of this insanity.
