    Yeah, it’s through taxes but when you allow the government to moderate and review where that tax money is going, they have control right now in America nobody has control which has lead health insurance companies to jack up prices, and then hospitals think well if they’re paying for so much for the insurance I might as well raise my prices and then somebody looks around and says well I want to be competitive so that the hospitals do business with people on Medicaid and Medicare so the government increased The amount of money hospitals and clinics get for similar procedures and operations. So basically hospitals insurance and Medicaid are constantly raising the states on how much procedures take for money.

    Now the cost of the government helping fund just part of the medical system in America is bigger than our department of defense bill per year
