I would like there to be a breakdown of contributions to the higher and higher price tags on health care. Without identifying the causes, solutions are largely academic. With the constant emergence of more and more expensive high-technology diagnostics, why is it that prices are expected to remain the same (or even decrease for that matter)? Lessons from the computer industry shows that the cutting edge is more expensive for a short while, but tails off. This doesn't hold true in health care expenses. Also, with an aging population, shouldn't it be obvious that health care expenditures will increase proportionately? These are the types of questions I would like to see addressed and posed.
