Disproportionate health insurance premiums may be the reason we are seeing increased health care costs. Unexpectedly high rates and soaring premiums are common here in the United States. Insurance companies are labeled as insatiable and pitiless businesses formed for the sole intention of rising prices so they profit more.

Looking at provider choices pertaining to cost and charges, we see insurance premiums are not the only thing affecting elevated expenses. Many businesses are integrated in the health care sector, and it is medical experts and product suppliers that are actually driving cost up. The layout of health care in America must be redesigned because the trickle-down effect forces the patient to pay.

Corker gives gloomy diagnosis for health care overhaul bill
Posted on November 18, 2009
U.S. Sen. Bob Corker had a gloom-and-doom diagnosis for Democrat-sponsored Senate health care reform legislation at a town hall meeting in downtown Elizabethton on Wednesday.

Many of the people in the Senate are looking at this as having to do with this presidency (of Democrat Barack Obama) and saving this presidency instead of realizing the basic fundamentals of this bill are wrong. … I believe this president truly believes government can solve most all problems. Thats a place Im not comfortable with at all.
