Regardless of it being Moore, does any one else here think there might be a problem with healthcare costs? If so, what are some answers?

The more people get "free" health care, like moore himself brags about, the more we have to pay to cover those costs. Nothing is "free".
All these illegal immigrants piling into ER's are what's driving up your premiums, along with the lawyers chasing ambulances. When the cost of delivery goes up, so does the cost of the insurance premium which ultimately is what pays for the health care you need.

1)Lawyers
2)Patients who demand to see a neurosurgeon every time they're hit on the head with a wiffle ball.
3)The fact that average 15 year old (and the average 50 year old) is at least 30 pounds overweight.

The problem with the cost of health care is that it seems "free" to its primary consumers. The solution is to make the consumers have to actually pay for it again.

I agree we do need to fix the health care system. One way to cut costs is to pay attention to outcome studies, cost vs outcome.....then you run into the problem of what is a life worth and quality of life issues. As an example,is it worth spending millions on a premature infant that will grow up with many physical and mental problems that will cost society even more? I do not know and who wants to make that decision? Sometimes God already makes the choice but man interferes.....enough of my rambles
