Health care costs have risen faster than general inflation. We can discuss the reasons why, including the majority of Americans have health care and participate in the health care market with someone else footing the bill. Another factor is medical care requires education, another commodity whose cost has increased at a rate far greater than general inflation (30 years after my graduation from college one credit hour costs two and a half times what I paid for a 12 credit hour term) Third the cost of malpractice suits and the cost of the insurances the Doctor and practice must purchase and as we all know insurance companies make a profit, especially on products people can't do with out.

To control medical cost we need tort reform, initiatives to control the cost of an medical education and taxing the cost of employer provided health care or the services it provides so the consumer has some responsibility in controlling healthcare costs. And OR making people pay additional amounts of money on their health care plans for unhealthy life still choices like smoking, drug & alcohol abuse and obesity. I'll admit on the last point I'd have to pay a "fat" tax.
