    Not saying it’s bad that taxes pay for it. What’s bad is when manufacturers keep raising rates to pad their pockets at the expense of the taxpayer money. That means taxes are being shifted to their profits rather than other programs. GP was saying they didn’t care that rates went up because it was “free” to them.

      Fair point. I would say that something similar happens with private insurance as well. I don’t claim to have the solution for greed but it sure would be nice to enjoy a system where health outcomes take priority over profit.
